Allmusic stated about Organic Hallucinosis: "Launching off of their new frontman's more versatile skills in delivering various stages of deathly grunting, the band has stepped up the complexity of their songwriting to match, while establishing a non-traditional death metal aesthetic."
According to Kerrang!, "Decapitated have already released three classic albums; superbly conceived and executed eruptions of technical brilliance and razor-sharp songwriting that have turned these youthful Poles into one of the genre's most widely respected bands. Remarkably, Organic Hallucinosis takes that knack for producing extreme music with integrity and bagfuls of hooks even closer to perfection."
Blabbermouth.net stated later in 2010 about the album: "A hugely forward-thinking and ambitious album, Organic Hallucinosis defined Decapitated's sound and spawned a host of imitators."
Tomas Haake of the Swedish band Meshuggah announced a statement following the death of Vitek: "The metal community has lost one of the most talented and skillful drummers of our time! I remember when I first heard Decapitated's Organic Hallucinosis and it just blew me away! What a band and what a drummer! Vitek was a true talent and drummer genius (...)."

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or reception:
“Good critical writing is measured by the perception and evaluation of the subject; bad critical writing by the necessity of maintaining the professional standing of the critic.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
