John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, saying, "It's experimental hip-hop being done on a level reached by few producers out there."[3] Olli Siebelt of BBC called it "an album that is as experimental and cutting edge as anything in Warp's back catalogue."[1] Sam Chennault of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.3 out of 10, commenting that "Seed to Sun works best when it's either quirkily repetitive or resigning itself to funky experimentation."[5]
