At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Tracer received an average score of 71, based on 25 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[3]

Sarah H. Grant of Consequence of Sound gave the album a grade of "B" and commented that "Teengirl Fantasy's interpretation of dance-pop through a technical EDM filter recalls Sonic Youth's re-interpretation of hardcore punk through indie rock."[6] Jayson Greene of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.0 out of 10, saying, "If Tracer has significant replay value, it's for the parsing of the details of its light-filled surface, for the sounds themselves."[8] George Bass of Slant Magazine gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, describing it as "a carefully balanced collage of experimental electronica and stylish vocal pop on which Nick Weiss and Logan Takahashi display a technical prowess to match many of EDM's current stars".[11]

Blurt named it the 27th best album of 2012.[12]
