| The Guardian | [12] |
Timothy Monger of AllMusic commented that Quantum Web "expands on her debut's core sound, blending tech-nostalgia and dreamy ambience with some '80s zing and a quirky wistfulness."[11] He added, "Weihl is a craftswoman with a knack for building intricate worlds that are unexpectedly fun to visit."[11] Ben Beaumont-Thomas of The Guardian stated, "At her best, Weihl conjures the pasts we choose to remember but perhaps never even lived through – the collective fantasias of a culture in retreat from the horror of now."[12] Joe Roberts of DJ Mag wrote, "Whether or not the title refers to this voyage of musical self-discovery, it's an engrossing, enjoyable trip to join Weihl on."[13]
Bandcamp Daily included Quantum Web on its list of "The Best Albums of Winter 2024".[14]
