Distortland has received generally mixed reviews from critics. Drowned in Sound wrote: "Distortland represents the kind of mix and match bag of tricks we've come to expect from The Dandy Warhols and while not quite attaining classic status, is a welcome return for a band who've never been afraid to stick two fingers in the face of adversity",[4] while MusicOMH wrote that the album "too often sounds like a diluted version of what's gone before, a collection that struggles to reach the highs of old. The band's biggest fans are likely to go through a multitude of emotions before accepting that, as evidenced by Taylor-Taylor's increasingly breathless vocals, this might just be the first signs of their favourite band finally running out of puff and coming down."[5]
