At
Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics,
Drift received an average score of 83 based on 7 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". Mosi Reeves of
Spin said, "Nosaj's remarkable, entrancing debut album gathers sundry influences, from U.K. dubstep to
Aphex Twin-styled IDM, into a 36-minute computerized symphony." Shawn Reynaldo of
XLR8R gave the album an 8 out of 10, saying: "Settling somewhere between
Flying Lotus' otherworldly jazz and
The Glitch Mob's crunked-up floor-fillers,
Drift is an impeccably produced record that sounds amazing in headphones but also has enough bump to hit the dancefloor every now and then." ==Track listing==
