According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Passed Me By received "universal acclaim" based on a weighted average score of 82 out of 100 from 4 critic scores.[2]

Andrew Ryce of Fact wrote, "At a time when dub techno is one of the laziest and least inspiring genres in electronic music, one of the brightest people at its peripheries shows just how far into the jungle those borders extend, and it's one hell of a place to visit."[8] Philip Sherburne of Pitchfork stated, "where Burial and Shackleton use the flickering syncopations of dubstep and garage to keep their music moving, Stott's 4/4 beats, reduced to a deathly crawl, give his music an even more hopeless cast."[10]
