Critical Response
- "A stunning collection of 36 instrumental tracks that is one of the most varied and ambitious releases of Reznor's career". SPIN
- "Even if every one of these tracks stands as a formal experiment unto itself, after an hour or two these half-formed ideas begin to bleed indistinctly into each other, evolving into puddles of vaguely ominous aural mush". Pitchfork
- "He shows here that he is much more than the swagger and smut of some of his previous releases. He has made it clear to the world that he has real vision and dexterity". Pop Matters

Nine Inch Nails Ghosts Professional Reviews
- Pitchfork: NIN Ghosts 5.0/10 Review (April 2, 2008)
- Pitchfork discusses the economic and aesthetic ramifications of Trent Reznor's defection from the major label record industry. The unfortunate result, critic Tom Breihan says, is that Reznor has filled Ghosts up with half-formed and half-finished tracks, none of which total up to songs.
- Sputnik Music: NIN Ghosts 4.5/5 Review
- "Sputnik Music rates Ghosts as 'Superb'. The review argues that the strong piano melodies create an eerie mood, but does not incite boredom, as the tone remains 'heavy, loud, and aggressive.' The critic calls Trent Reznor one of the most vital modern music artists and considers Ghosts a welcome maturing for Nine Inch Nails."
