''The Village Voice'' wrote: "''Diotima'' is the kind of album that requires multiple listens, possibly alternating between headphones and speakers, to absorb. Assaultive at first, it gradually blooms: The guitar lines separate, and the intricate ebb and flow of the rhythm section... becomes more and more clear." The editors of AllMusic awarded the album a full 5 stars, and Phil Freeman called it "the group's best work to date."
