In a review for Drowned in Sound, Kyle Ellison wrote: "Unfortunately this doesn't make for the most coherent of listens, and for the most part this record feels half-baked. Moments of genuine inspiration are difficult to find, which is surprising considering the pair's obvious talent and intrigue. While the most fully formed song, 'In A House With No Mirrors', hints at the duo's potential, even this is fairly ordinary and the track feels incongruous with the sparser sounds found elsewhere. It's disappointing, too, that for an album with such a brilliantly evocative title, it mostly fails to create a mood that corresponds." Alex Wisgard of The Line of Best Fit stated: "The ten songs on The Terror of Cosmic Loneliness make up the strangest record Gruff Rhys has ever put his name to – this from a man whose back catalogue includes an electropop concept album about John DeLorean."
