Several reviews commented on the experimental nature of the album. Lukas Suveg, in a positive review for Tiny Mix Tapes, writes "Jono El Grande strikes a near-perfect balance between the traditional and the avant-garde, and his playful approach lends the album a great amount of accessibility without compromising his adventurous spirit."[4] AllMusic's François Couture described Neo Dada as "late-era Zappa minus the scatological routines, plus an intentionally cheesy Latin element (think Señor Coconut)."[2]
John L Walters, writing for The Guardian, considered the work an improvement over Jono El Grande's previous album Fevergreens, saying "Neo Dada sounds much more confident, exuberant, artful and bloody-minded."[3] Dan Raper of PopMatters concludes "Cycling quickly through klezmer, jazz, and prog-rock, Jono El Grande presents an intriguing if a little ADD interpretation of experimental music."[1]
All tracks are written by Jono El Grande[2].
