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:
“Much of what contrives to create critical moments in parenting stems from a fundamental misunderstanding as to what the child is capable of at any given age. If a parent misjudges a child’s limitations as well as his own abilities, the potential exists for unreasonable expectations, frustration, disappointment and an unrealistic belief that what the child really needs is to be punished.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“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)
