Maya-Roisin Slater of Resident Advisor reviewed "Another Life is a complete sensory overload you can't turn away from."[8] Paul Simpson of AllMusic said: "Another Life is filled with the battering beats and showering feedback common to the duo's previous recordings, but they're molded into strange, sometimes grotesque pop songs. Jarring, mutilated electronic vocals are at the center of most of the album's songs, and the lyrics seem to celebrate technology while also expressing the horror of having no escape from it."[4]
