Reception

Ghost People received generally favorable reviews from critics. Daniel Sylvester of Exclaim! commented that "Martyn has done an excellent job giving each track its own distinctive character".[5] Ben Donnelly of Dusted Magazine described the album as "a dance record unconcerned with pop songs or headphone dynamics".[4] Matthew Bennett of BBC concluded in his review that: "From his eulogy of Detroit strings and deep beats, to London's ambiguous constant reinvention of bass culture, these are tracks that will hold their own in any city with DJs operating at the forefront of the shifting beat."[2]
