Reception
Sub Verses has received generally positive reviews so far.
Thom Jurek of Allmusic praised the album, writing "Sub Verses offers such a disciplined sense of exploration, multivalent nuance, and commitment in its production and performance; it stands out in an already very distinguished catalog." This Is Fake DIY's Anna Byrne wrote that while "Some of the extremes on the album feel awkward - the heavy metal too heavy, the loops of death overlooped, the calm too suddenly silent," Sub Verses is "a deep, yawning collection of exciting musical experiments to dunk yourself into."
Jordan Mainzer gave Sub Verses a mixed review, writing "Sub Verses may be genre hopping, but it's not a particularly challenging listen as compared to its predecessors, albums that were both challenging and fun."
