At
Metacritic, which assigns a
weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Barragán received a score of 64 out of 100 based on 18 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[7]
Barragán's light, almost minimalistic sound compared to previous Blonde Redhead albums was received with mixed feelings. Exclaim! reviewer Cam Lindsay summarized that "Barragán is not an album determined to grab you in one listen; it's a 'grower,' as they say, but once it grows, it's apparent there's no shortage of baroque delights to discover on this veteran band's ninth album."[11]PopMatters' Zachary Houle was more critical, arguing that the music "lacks any kind of clarity in direction", and that fans might be alienated by "a band that is reinventing itself for the sake of reinvention."[14]
