Foxing was met with generally favourable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 88 based on five reviews.[3] Sputnikmusic staff reviewer praised the album, saying "Foxing may be a cacophonous, unhinged symphony of chaos, but it's also one that quietly encourages us to look at what's already around us, open our arms, and embrace it while we still can...to reach out and touch what is real. It is one of the most dissonant, powerful, legitimately terrifying, and ultimately uplifting pieces of music I've ever heard".[7] Kyle Kohner of The Line of Best Fit stated: "by leaning into powerful dynamics and their natural propensity for climactic moments, Foxing has crafted a remarkably emotional statement about feeling emotionless".[8] Caleb Campbell of Under the Radar found "the results are ambitious, expressive, and the most exciting work Foxing have yet delivered".[9] Brian Stout of PopMatters wrote: "Foxing have delivered the spiritual sequel nearly its equal and show they are at their best following their muse. While having it all might not have happened for Foxing (yet), what they do have is pretty damned impressive".[5] Holly Hazelwood of Spectrum Culture concluded: "self-titled, self-released and self-produced, Foxing is the kind of album a band only makes after recognizing where they're going and instead, running in the exact opposite direction".[6] Ian Cohen of Pitchfork resumed: "for 56 minutes Foxing alternately thrills and confounds but provides little in the way of catharsis".[4] Track listingAll tracks are written by Conor Murphy, Eric Hudson, Jon Hellwig, Brett Torrence and Ian Jones
