Critical reception

At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 66% based on 10 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[1]

John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, saying, "compared to Seed to Sun or Blue Eyed in the Red Room, whose fascination with sound was positively contagious, Zig Zaj sounds like an overly safe record, the type that most producers would avoid if they wanted to keep innovating."[2]

In 2011, The Guardian included it on the "Top 10 Autumn Albums" list,[9] while Mike Diver of BBC included it on the "Best Albums of September 2011" list.[10]
