Reception[]
TKOL RMX 1234567 has an aggregate score of 67 on Metacritic. Allmusic said it was "fascinating to hear how this current crop of producers ... twists, bends, adjusts, and appropriates the source material." The A.V. Club felt "the best of these remixes excite and innovate in ways their King Of Limbs counterparts didn't." However, the Guardian wrote that the album "feels less like an album than an info dump" and questioned "the utility in commissioning Four Tet and Caribou to rework songs that already sound a bit like Four Tet and Caribou." Pitchfork found it "listenable but ultimately bloodless."
