Afternoon X was met with "universal acclaim" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 81, based on 7 reviews.[2]

At Pitchfork, writer Maria Eberhart said: "Afternoon X embodies a lively sense of exploratory wonder. Drawing from a deep catalog of inspirations, Vanishing Twin have long made music for sharp-eared listeners. But with this album's unpredictable forms, the trio moves confidently beyond its acuity for cultural synthesis."[4]
