Allmusic[4]

Jon Worley of Aiding & Abetting commended Retrofit EP for packaging remixes that sound different from their original source.[5] AllMusic critic Mike Pfeiffer gave the gave two and a half out of five stars and said "it's arguably Spahn Ranch's most dance-oriented effort yet."[4] Sonic Boom called the album "a fine collection of Trance, Dub, Drum'n'Bass, and Jungle mixes of classic Spahn Ranch tunes."[6]
