Critical reception

Disappeared was met with "generally favorable" 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 71, based on 11 reviews.[2]

Keyboard wrote that Spring Heel Jack "slams together big beats and distorted industrial sampies in an all-instrumental collage that's both fresh and unpretentious."[8] The Times called the album "an inventive exercise which sees [the band] vaulting across a dozen different genres," writing that "[Ashley] Wales's elastic trumpet talents are a constant, occasionally complemented by guest clarinet, but it's the clatter of breakbeats that dominates."[9]
