Tiny Mix Tapes' Simon Chandler observed "
Vertigo somehow manages to absorb for its entire running time. ... the beauty of
Vertigo is that they take her nowhere. For all their passages through sustained hums, tinkling waves, jittery guitars, and unfathomable bass, their only destinations are yet more points of departure"
Paste's Dave Cantor wrote "It shimmers and drones, and it never seems to end. Necks’ latest outing,
Vertigo, posits that a 40-plus minute track can still seem lean, despite an array of the composition’s sections unloosing stuff as unrelated as sci-fi whirring and a batch of key-plunking that sounds like it might emanate from underwater". ==Track listing==
