Club described the album as a "working history of spastic club music, from rave-era hardcore to jungle to gabba"[6] The majority of Kill Sound... was described by PopMatters as "chaotic mix of cartoon samples, glitched-out grooves, and sputtering synthesizers"[4] Stylus Magazine described the album as having a "giddy sense of humour" and that "Depredo has always been a bit of a prankster when it comes to his music".
"[8] The review went on to praise it as "as imaginative and active as similarly great nü-hardcore sets from DJ /rupture and Todd Osborne's Soundmurderer, but more organized and efficient as well"[8] Stylus gave the album an A− rating, calling it Depedro's "best work and one of the best electronic albums all year"[5] PopMatters also gave the album a positive review, noting "what makes this album continually exciting, versatile, and will ultimately make you reach for it time and time again is that Kid 606 never once rehashes ideas or sounds stale.
