Pitchfork (Larry Fitzmaurice) – "The album's more engaging moments stand out . . . but the general disparity of these few-and-far-between moments amidst the record's more driftless filler sadly cements the fate of Strange Weather, Isn't It?: you'll enjoy it plenty while it's on, but once it's over you might forget it ever existed."[11]
musicOMH (Luke Winkie) – "It's practically a soundtrack for pool parties, clubs, and makeshift living room dance sessions. The album knows exactly what it wants to do, and accomplishes it with grace. You're not going to find nine songs that will keep your hips moving quite like these."[15]
Slant Magazine (Kevin Liedel) – "If Strange Weather, Isn't It? achieves anything, it's blind, technical dedication to beat-centric music. Like a drum machine left on play and then abandoned by its programmer, the album is relentless in its speed to go nowhere, pounding and tapping and clicking with nothing more than artificial purpose. . . Simply put, Strange Weather, Isn't It? is beat for the sake of beat."[16]
