Raul Stanciu of Sputnik Music called "Echogenetic" the "updated, more atmospheric counterpart to Tactical Neural Implant." Several critics noted the Dubstep influences on "Echogenetic". Gregory Burkart of FEARnet said, "It also marks a return to the band's earlier all-synth phase, losing the industrial-metal riffage that had become an integral part of their sound over the past several albums through 2010's Improvised Electronic Device." Barcode Magazine praised the songwriting: "[T]he music is gripped by a thirst for grisly robotics, fused with formidable dubstep bass vibes, monster cyberiffs, cavernous effects and sublimely programmed beats that combine to infuse the songs with a tangible sense of power and intensity." As opposed to the band's earlier output, guitars were absent from "Echogenetic". Intravenous Magazine commented on this, saying "Instead the band assimilate the sound into their arsenal so effectively that it fits quite comfortable and even manages to mask the pronounced lack of guitars on the album." Readers of Revolver voted "Echogenetic" "Album of the Week" for the week after its release. User ratings on Sputnikmusic pushed the release to fourth place of the "Best Industrial Albums of 2013" ranking. PopMatters picked the album for its "The Best Electronic Music of 2013" list where it ranks in 15th place. In the corresponding short review Darryl G. Wright called "Echogenetic" "an extremely rich album" and its song material "as pleasing to the ears as it is the heart". It is the first time the band entered the official German albums chart Media Control Charts.
