Critical Reception
During professional reviews, "Like Herod" received mostly good reception. The song is an album track pick at Allmusic. Brandon Wu of Ground and Sky notes the "raw power in piece, but unlike the best Mogwai pieces it lacks any sort of melody or beauty." However, Ian Mathers of Stylus Magazine dismisses the song as "good-but-redundant."

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or reception:
“You took my heart in your hand
With a friendly smile,
With a critical eye you scanned,
Then set it down,
And said: It is still unripe,
Better wait awhile;”

“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
