The Philadelphia Inquirer determined that "the band rages through every cliche in the modern- rock lexicon yet manages to make each one as invigorating as a cold shower in a heat wave." [4] Trouser Press wrote: "Despite the extra instrumentation ... Dyslexicon is bland, and an anticlimactic false ending provides a poetic inkling of the sputtering fade-out soon in store for this over-hyped band." [8]
The Hartford Courant stated: "Cut through the trippy fuzz that gives this album such a homogeneous throwback acid-rock feel, and you're into some seriously hard-core rock 'n' roll." [9] The Record concluded that "there is an intriguingly ever-present babble of raw noise just beneath the surface of Dyslexicon, but the vague cliches of the song titles—'Super Cool', 'Weird-Out', 'Whatever'—bespeak a group directionless and muddled." [10]

Two promotional singles from the album were released, "Weird-Out" and "Trailer Park Girl." Both of these singles feature at least one or two remixes.
