Brian Howe of Pitchfork gave the album a 6.0 out of 10, saying: "It's still a neat project with many moments of interest, but it's disappointing that the second album doesn't cohere overall any better than the first."[9] Eric Hill of Exclaim! commented that "Own Your Ghost wins with a rare combination of velocity and depth to track and tackle these troubled times."[6] Mary Kosearas of Filter gave the album a rating of 81%, stating: "Ten tracks mixed with complex beats and sharp vocals gradually mature into a harmony of both fresh and electronically manipulated sounds."[7]
