Andrew Ryce of Resident Advisor gave the album a 4.0 out of 5, commenting that "Dibiase wisely avoids the schizophrenic channel-skipping to which his peers are so often prone, building tunes armed with an exacting focus, even when it seems like brilliant ideas are defiantly tossed off."[4] Jacqueline Whatley of URB gave the album 4 out of 5 stars, writing, "In an hour of utter brilliance, Dibiase offers the world a taste of what exists on the innovative Los Angeles underground and an exciting idea of what is to come."[5] Jeff Weiss of Los Angeles Times wrote, "Machines Hate Me represents the most complete and fully realized iteration of Dibiase's work."[6]
