Surgery has been generally well-received by critics. Drowned in Sound wrote: "'Surgery' isn't the unlistenable, depression-fest it's [sic] lyrical content threatens it to be. Instead, it's heartfelt message combined with the monstrous sound behind it make it one of the most curiously uplifting records of the year."[1]
