According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Der Lange Marsch received "universal acclaim" based on a weighted average score of 81 out of 100 from 7 critic scores.[1]
Paul Simpson of AllMusic commented that the album's tracks "set atmospheric layers of heavily treated samples to thumping 4/4 kick drums."[6] He added, "Presented as a continuous hour-long mix, the album builds anticipation by starting out with a thick layer of vinyl crackle and slowly fading in the steadily paced beat, which barely changes throughout the entire course of the album."[6] Daniel Bromfield of Pitchfork wrote, "while it's structured as a single piece, like Rausch, it moves more quickly, never staying on one idea too long; the rhythm runs completely uninterrupted for the central hour of the 67-minute album."[8]
