Mark Pytlik of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, calling it "an admirable reinvention that should indoctrinate [Edgar] Farinas into the new school of bleeding-edge underground hip-hop producers."[1] Rollie Pemberton of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.2 out of 10, saying: "Surrounded by the highly polished sample fests of RJD2 and the ridiculously technical chop-a-thons of Prefuse 73, Push Button Objects is lost in the fold, regardless of his clear production prowess."[3] Todd Hutlock of Stylus Magazine gave the album a grade of C+, writing: "Mostly, I found myself wishing that Farinas would just make separate rap and instrumental albums next time out."[2]

It was ranked at number 19 on the CMJ "Hip-Hop 2003" chart.[6]
