Critical reception

David Pollock of The List wrote, "With Weatherall himself singing as if from the heart of a smoke-filled room (and perhaps he was), the album explores dancehall, ambient dub, electro and post-punk in building an atmospheric soundtrack for the city at night."[7] Iain Moffat of The Quietus called it "the most song-based work of his career."[9] Meanwhile, Louise Brailey of Fact commented that "A Pox on the Pioneers is an idiosyncratic and surprising debut at best – I expected something more."[5]

Clash placed it at number 9 on the "Top 40 Albums of 2009" list.[11]
