According to the review aggregator Metacritic, False Readings On received "universal acclaim" based on a weighted average score of 81 out of 100 from 8 critic scores.[8]

Paul Simpson of AllMusic stated, "The main element that sticks out on this album is Cooper's occasional somewhat jarring usage of operatic vocal samples."[9] He added, "On several pieces, he builds up layers of wavy synthesizer drones and gliding guitars before inserting eerie, disembodied vocal trills."[9] Luke Pearson of Exclaim! called the album "another strikingly beautiful work from Eluvium."[11]
