Everything Is Wrong (Vinyl)

The album received widespread critical acclaim for its bold, eclectic mix of styles. Barry Walters of Spin praised its expansive musical range, contrasting it with the "one-dimensional" nature of many other electronic albums, and called it "a hugely passionate album held together by its intensity." Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune lauded it for "exploding the boundaries of the genre," describing the album as "as moving as it is adventurous." Lorraine Ali of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the album "swoops from agony to ecstasy, leaping from the glittery heights of disco divadom to the rampaging ugliness of speed-metal to the refined elegance of classical—while always remaining consistently Moby."

Robert Christgau of The Village Voice said, "Where in concert he subsumes rockist guitar and classical pretensions in grand, joyous rhythmic release, on album his distant dreams remain tangents."
