Reception

I Die:You Die described Counting to Zero as "a natural evolution away from their noisier days" and "Collide’s music has always been "deep", however one wants to take that term (the trip-hop elements of their sound, for example, are still in full effect), and it’s encouraging to see them finding new ways to stay true to and explore the particular combination of mystique and virtuosity which has made them such an endearing and enduring force for all these years."[4] ReGen praised called the album "quintessential", awarded the album three and a half out of five and said it "may not be a stretch for them, but is full of the same rich production and performance we’ve come to expect and love."[5]
