Reception
According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Myutahfoo received "generally favorable reviews" based on a weighted average score of 80 out of 100 from four critic scores.[3]
Pitchfork Media's Marc Weidenbaum gave this album a 7.1 out of 10, praising Barbieri's decision to eschew vocals, summing up "at her best, Barbieri doesn’t just make music; a wizard, she excites the air".[1] Robert Barry of The Quietus wrote that "radiant lines seem to suggest that even the darkest of tunnels may still bear a brilliant light at their end" for this music.[4] Editors at Resident Advisor chose this as a recommendation and Dash Lewis reviewed Myuthafoo writing that "it's a testament to Barbieri's skill as a composer that she's able to wring genuine emotion from such bracing music" and encourages listeners that "Barbieri uses effects to build massive sonic spaces, so listening headphones can be utterly transportive".[2] In The Sydney Morning Herald, Annabel Ross rated this work 4 out of 5 stars, calling it "premium quality" that shows both "edgy, avant-garde" compositions as well as softness.[5]
