[7] As Orange Milk Records' press release stated, Ez Minzoku involves Takahide Higuchi using the "adventurous" production he incorporated in his previous works to execute a "negative space minimalis[t]" style consisting of clean MIDI instruments.

[3] Ryce, reviewing for Resident Advisor, called Ez Minzoku "exciting" for how it "keeps [the listener] on [their] toes" and "never settles into a comfort zone" but also criticized it as "annoying" and "totally devoid of structure" in some places.

described the charm of the LP, "It's as if the producer has built an impossibly ornate and tiny world, with rules that he alone has defined, a space that when taken in from afar appears completely out of place, yet up close feels like home.

"[8] Tiny Mix Tapes reviewer Sam Goldner wrote the album will "hijack [the listener's] spine and leave [him] wriggling on the floor, begging for more of that sweet, dangerous squeak.

"[10] He described it as "a how-to manual for finally fitting that square peg in the round hole, 13 choreographed exercises that wobble not just because of the kooky soundbites stringing them from head to toe, but because of Foodman's singular taste for maddening rhythmic genesis.

"[10] Tiny Mix Tapes placed the album at number 16 on its list of the best releases of 2016, claiming, "Foodman rigidly disavowed the entire jazz-blues-rock tradition, inventing and exploring a totally unique, jagged para-pop candyland.

"[12] The album landed at number 27 on Thump's year-end list, where Joyce called it Higuchi's "most hilarious effort yet" and "a joyous cacophony of sounds that shouldn't be able to coexist.
