Critical reception

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".[1]

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."[5] 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."[8]
