Retrospective critical reception of Contents Under Notice has been mixed. Ted Mill of allmusic described Contents Under Notice as a "mixture of wobbly synth beds, industrial noise, scattershot drum machines, eerie whines, and treated vocal samples." Mills gave the release two and a half out of five stars and criticized it for being too lengthy for what it was.[1] However, Trouser Press reviewed the album more enthusiastically. Ira Robbins said "in its raucous, multi-layered complexity, the piece asymptotically approaches sheer white noise din" and that "maybe this is what Martians with insomnia listen to."[2]
The album has never been issued on CD.
