Critical reception
Client was met with "mixed or average" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 52 based on 8 reviews.[1]
In a review for AllMusic, David Jeffries wrote "Client wear their cleverness on their sleeve and go out of their way to explain how dangerous they are. Lyrics are filled with attention-grabbing innuendo that sounds forced, and the music is drab and underdeveloped. The nameless women behind it all (Client A and Client B) give potential remixers plenty to work with on the inspired "Pills", but the simple melodies throughout the album wear out their welcome quickly.[2]
