Denise Benson of ''[Exclaim!](/source/Exclaim!)'' wrote, "Few contemporary producers have been able to carve such a distinctive sound while remaining so fluid and open, yet Herbert seems to do so effortlessly."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://exclaim.ca/music/article/herbertvarious-secondhand_sounds|title=Herbert/Various: Secondhand Sounds|website=[Exclaim!](/source/Exclaim!)|date=1 May 2002|access-date=29 November 2015|last=Benson|first=Denise}}</ref> Mark Richardson of ''[Pitchfork](/source/Pitchfork_(website))'' complimented "Herbert's imperialistic way with the source material",<ref name="pitchfork"/> and Andy Battaglia of ''[The A.V. Club](/source/The_A.V._Club)'' said, "Herbert is an idea man who brings theory out of its studious back rooms and into a realm equally suited for home listening and smile-widening club revelry."<ref name="avclub">{{cite web|url=https://www.avclub.com/herbert-secondhand-sounds-1798196440|title=Herbert: Secondhand Sounds|website=[The A.V.

John Bush of [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic) praised Herbert as "the most inventive remixer active", while also stating, "For better, but occasionally for worse, virtually all of these tracks are immediately recognizable as Herbert productions; the point-perfect beats, quick bassline fills, and his use of split-second samples and crackly vocals to drive the tracks sound more like a formula than a blueprint after several soundalikes come one after another."<ref name="allmusic"/>
