Dave Segal of The Stranger gave the album a favorable review, stating, "Signify gives us 16 tracks—including six brief interludes ripe for bumper usage in NPR's hipper segments—on Of Cities that bring the funk, but stoically, with urban grime and urbane grimness."[7] Jennifer Marston of XLR8R said: "He's still pushing his drum-heavy style, which is tight as ever, but he's also reeled in shades of glitch, new wave, Kraut-rock, and other genres for the tracks."[10]

PopMatters named it the 3rd best instrumental hip hop album of 2009.[11]
