Critical reception
Template:Music ratings The Hartford Courant wrote that "there's something a little different about the Allstar approach, alternating the boomy, hooky dance tracks with spacy, equally melodic washes of instrumentals, over which are long, Beat poet-like rants."[1] NME named How to Operate with a Blown Mind the 21st best album of 1998.[2]
In a rundown of "intelligent big beat", Simon Reynolds called the album an "oxymoronic masterpiece of 'darkside big beat'."[3]
