Critical reception[edit]

| Source | Rating |
| Mojo |   [1] |
| Uncut | 7⁄10[2] |
In a positive review for Mojo, James McNair called Foreground Music a "garagey art-rock and fractured funk" album and further said that "the New Jersey-born Gallo brings fizzing zeal and a bounteous grab-bag of ideas, his songs’ hooks as striking as his idiosyncratic lyrics".[1] McNair gave Foreground Music a four star rating.[1] Peter Watts, writing for Uncut magazine gave the album a 7 out of 10 rating.[2] Watts praised the eclectic mix of sounds on the album but said Gallo was at his best when "when occupying a place between the rawness of Jack White and lysergic drawl of Kevin Morby"[2]
