Critical reception
Sinestesia received generally positive reviews. Rolling Stone Indonesia gave four-and-a-half out of five stars, calling it an "ambitious work that exceeded expectations. Efek Rumah Kaca took six years to work on their third album, Sinestesia, but in the end, it exceeded expectations. All six ambitious songs presented by the trio are over 7 minutes long, displaying a richer palette of instruments, beautiful melodies and lyrics commenting on life."
