Critical reception
About Man Made Object, John Fordham says in The Guardian that "It still feels like clubbing music, and perhaps best heard live, but plenty of house and techno fans might be surprised by how good at partying three closet-jazzers can be."[6]
Marcus J. Moore says in Pitchfork that "Man Made Object is tailor-made for laid-back enjoyment, to be consumed at a moderate volume without much fuss."[7]
The album charted at number 72 on the UK Albums Chart in February 2016.[8]
