Critical reception

Ned Raggett of AllMusic praised Spanners, saying, "The highlights are many, most often achieving a solid combination of dancefloor friendliness and unexpected sonic trickery." David Browne of Entertainment Weekly described it as "a series of antiseptic, hypnosis-inducing machine burbles, but with just the right amount of jarring elements to keep listeners awake." Shana Ting Lipton of CMJ New Music Monthly called it "an epic journey through life in the modern world."

In 2017, Spanners ranked at number 42 on Pitchforks list of "The 50 Best IDM Albums of All Time".
