Ned Raggett of AllMusic praised Spanners, saying, "The highlights are many, most often achieving a solid combination of dancefloor friendliness and unexpected sonic trickery."[4] David Browne of Entertainment Weekly described it as "a series of antiseptic, hypnosis-inducing machine burbles, but with just the right amount of jarring elements to keep listeners awake."[5] Shana Ting Lipton of CMJ New Music Monthly called it "an epic journey through life in the modern world."[6]

In 2017, Spanners ranked at number 42 on Pitchfork's list of "The 50 Best IDM Albums of All Time".[1]
