At [[Metacritic]], which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, ''Ultravisitor'' received an average score of 74, based on 21 reviews, indicating a score of "generally favorable".<ref name="metacritic"/>

''Ultravisitor'' was generally well received by critics. Reviewing the album for ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]'', Dominique Leone of gave the album a positive review, stating "In some ways, ''Ultravisitor'' is the only Squarepusher album you need to know about. It contains instances of every idea, texture or beat he's presented until now, and unlike recent releases [[Do You Know Squarepusher]] or [[Go Plastic]], little of it sounds stale."<ref name="pitchfork" /> Writing for ''[[AllMusic]]'', John Bush called the album "vastly more impressive than anyone could've expected from Squarepusher".<ref name="allmusic" /> Joshua Ostroff of ''[[Exclaim!]]'' said it was "an album of surprising heart and laid-back calm, albeit still boasting bursts of mayhem."<ref name="exclaimultravisitor" />

Other critics were not so positive, however; reviewing the album for ''[[The Observer]]'', Emma Warren said "There will be people who think of Squarepusher's music as the kind of clever and very important racket they should like - but never actually want to listen to. And if one fast-forwarded to the middle of 29-year-old Tom Jenkinson's ninth album, you'd be forgiven for thinking they were right."<ref name="observerultravisitor" /> Additionally, Leone also commented that "At almost 80 minutes, ''Ultravisitor'' contains too much music to really hold together as a cohesive statement."<ref name="pitchfork" /> Dorian Lynskey of ''[[The Guardian]]'' gave the album three stars, saying that "''Ultravisitor'' is yet another scattershot Squarepusher album [...] that infuriates as often as it delights."
