Along with

Rolling Stone Album Guide referred to Refried Ectoplasm as being like "many odds-and-ends collections, are essential listening only for obsessives and completeists." and that the compilations "offer some of Stereolab's most experimental material, and occasionally-as with Refried's early singles ("Lo Boob Oscillator")-some of the group's more accessible tracks as well."^[3] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album a 4.5 out of five rating, stating that the album is "far more than a mere oddities collection. More than any other album, Refried Ectoplasm charts Stereolab's astonishing musical growth between those three years, and offers several definitive songs -- including "Lo Boob Oscillator," "French Disko," and "John Cage Bubblegum".^[1]
