Upon its release, I Am the Last of All the Field That Fell: A Channel generally received rave reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 72, which indicates "generally favorable reviews", based on 4 reviews.^[4] Thom Jurek of AllMusic praised the album, stating: "As displayed on I Am the Last of All the Field That Fell: A Channel, it's also simultaneously holistic, maddening, erotic, bleak, bright, and most of all, visionary."^[5] Uncut wrote: "I Am The Last has a wind in its sails, though, thanks to Tibet's preacher vigour, and an extraordinary guestlist."^[4] Nevertheless, Grayson Currin of Pitchfork was mixed in his assessment of the album: "There are flutes and poetry readings, floods of noise and wisps of bass clarinet. Still, such an astounding lineup only serves to reinforce the disappointment of the flat and oftentimes gangly Field."^[6]
