John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, saying, "It's experimental hip-hop being done on a level reached by few producers out there." Olli Siebelt of BBC called it "an album that is as experimental and cutting edge as anything in Warp's back catalogue." Sam Chennault of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.3 out of 10, commenting that "Seed to Sun works best when it's either quirkily repetitive or resigning itself to funky experimentation."
