A.V. Club
He finds a relatively new way with Age Of, his first album to prominently feature vocals on half its songs—some of them even approaching a genuine, if jagged form of pop

The 405
Age Of’s incredible blending of analogue and digital, completely original use of instrumentation and omnipresent jarring-yet-thrilling aural ejections are certainly still a jaw-dropping mindfuck without knowing anything about Oneohtrix Point Never's imagined backstory

Loud And Quiet
A cult figure among the YouTube generation, Lopatin’s erratic style – from pulsing electronica to new age serenity within moments, sometimes simultaneously – imitates the velocity and vulgarity of a 30-minute Vine compilation. Repeated listens of his latest offering ‘Age Of’ has a similarly numbing effect

Amidst all of this collaborative energy, Age Of has emerged as one of Lopatin's most subversive and inhuman efforts to date—a fact that is equal parts admirable and perplexing

At various other points Age Of is baffling, creating more heat than light with its noisy textures and creating the impression that Lopatin is stalling as an artist.
