Bram E. Gieben of "The Skinny" stated: "A visionary artist at the height of his powers, this is in many ways his most accessible and uplifting work so far," while also adding that "each track contains distinct movements, bearing out the occasional comparisons made between Lopatin's work and classical composition." Nevertheless, Louis Pattison of "NME" was mixed in his assessment of the record: "There are a few moments of elegant sensuality--like the tumbling, androgynous voices of 'He She'--but by and large it's like one of Jeff Koons' uber-kitsch sculptures: gleaming, opulent, but kinda hard to love." "R Plus Seven" was on several year-end lists by critics, topping Tiny Mix Tapes' year-end list and ranking at number 43 on the annual poll Pazz & Jop by "The Village Voice".
