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:
“The male has been persuaded to assume a certain onerous and disagreeable rôle with the promise of rewards—material and psychological. Women may in the first place even have put it into his head. BE A MAN! may have been, metaphorically, what Eve uttered at the critical moment in the Garden of Eden.”
—Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
