| AllMusic |   [5] |
Trouser Press called Gilt "a garish noise-powered album less tiresomely dependent on keyboards than the first two."[6] AllMusic wrote that "great production helps the rhythm hit you right in the chest, and what Gilt lacks in song variety, it makes up for in consistency of quality."[5]
