AllMusic critic Ned Raggett wrote that Remnants of a Deeper Purity "succeeds like no other Black Tape release before it, the logical extension of Rosenthal's musical and lyrical foci into a lengthy, commanding, and beautiful experience."[1] He ranked it at number 93 on his list of the best albums of the 1990s for Freaky Trigger.[4]
