Heather Phares of AllMusic called Sensuous "the finest expression of Cornelius' inimitable, playfully sophisticated musical language yet."[5] Eric Harvey of Pitchfork wrote that the album "represents yet another step forward for Oyamada's unique headphone pop."[10] He added, "It's not quite the departure that Point was from Fantasma, but it feels like a natural next step."[10] Hardeep Phull of NME wrote that the album forewent any consistent theme for "a kaleidoscopic vision of experimental pop", adding that the album is "as befuddling as it is brilliant. Whether you dig it or not, the fact remains that there isn't anyone – and never has been – making music like this guy."[9] Christian Hoard of Rolling Stone commented that the album is "as gleefully weird" as Cornelius's previous work, citing "blips, glitches, warm acoustic instruments, plus snatches of melody." However, he criticized the lack of "tunes", writing that none of the material is hummable.[13]
