Critical Reception
Plaid has not gained a mainstream following. Their music, however, has not failed to garner positive reviews, on average. While IDM, and techno in general, have experienced a fair amount of popularity at times, Plaid has worked largely within the confines of the low mainstream appeal of their style of music. While Aphex Twin and Plaid have at different times in their careers worked for the same record label, Warp Records, Aphex Twin has by far remained the most popular of the two.

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or reception:
“Probably more than youngsters at any age, early adolescents expect the adults they care about to demonstrate the virtues they want demonstrated. They also tend to expect adults they admire to be absolutely perfect. When adults disappoint them, they can be critical and intolerant.”
—The Lions Clubs International and the Quest Nation. The Surprising Years, I, ch.4 (1985)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
