At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 74, based on 8 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[2]

Derek Miller of Stylus Magazine gave the album a grade of B, stating: "With The Humbucking Coil, Fleischmann retreats into more organic territory, flushing out guitar textures and marrowed synth lines with the natural flesh of human drumming given cosmetic whiskering."[5] Split Foster of Tiny Mix Tapes gave the album 3 stars out of 5, writing: "A languid mood piece with discreet variations, Coil is a pleasant, if homogeneous, listening experience."[6]
