The Baltimore Sun noted that "no matter what he does with the component sounds, the structure of Eon's compositions always adheres to the formal demands of techno, putting enough emphasis on the kinetic qualities of sound that even a tune as aurally adventurous as "Basket Case" never seems to lose its propulsive edge."[6] Newsday labeled the album "sci-fi dance music".[7] The New York Times stated: "If Void Dweller is successful as an album-length experience, it's because it is mood-Muzak, establishing a chilly, creepy atmosphere. This is techno as isolation chamber rather than party music."[8]
