Critical reception
Template:Music ratings Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic described Camoufleur as "a subdued, meditative affair, bringing together elements of folk, jazz, film music, and the avant-garde", which gradually "opens up, revealing layers of modest beauty".[2] Entertainment Weekly critic Rob Brunner found that it showed Gastr del Sol's music continuing to become "less obtuse", praising the album as "their most listenable — and ambitious — work yet".[3] Joshua Klein of The A.V. Club felt that its "move toward more standard song structures, while not a radical revamp, sounds fresh and enjoyable."[4]
In 2018, Pitchfork placed Camoufleur at number 38 on its list of the 50 best albums of 1998.[5] In an accompanying write-up, staff writer Marc Hogan described the album as "meticulous, introspective chamber-pop, unfurling a bit like Van Dyke Parks' work with Brian Wilson."[5] Fact ranked it as the tenth best post-rock album of all time in a 2016 list.[6]
