criticism

The song received many negative reviews from critics. Here are some comments:

“Skrillex's lack of progression means there's a distinct sense of déjà vu among its seven tracks, particularly on the relentless, scattershot bleeps, chopped-up vocal hooks, and repetitive loops of opener 'Right In' and the rap-metal fusion of 'Kyoto '”

"The lack of development at Skrillex leads to a clear déja-vu feeling within the seven pieces, especially with the incessantly interspersed beeps, the chopped up vocal hooks and the monotonous loops of the opener 'Right In' and the rap-metal fusion on ' Kyoto '"

- Jim O'Brien ( Allmusic ) :

"The bland 'Kyoto' is reminiscent of every other average electro-dance song, and it fails to show the genius of its creator"

"The dreary 'Kyoto' sounds like the average electro dance song and doesn't let the genius of its creator shine through"

- Kevin Vincenti (The Cavalier Daily) :

“The other prominent failure is 'Kyoto,' featuring Sirah. The track is a bass-heavy rap-rock track with an irrelevant verse from Sirah. Even Linkin Park moved on from their rap-rock days. "

“The other noticeable failure is 'Kyoto' featuring Sirah. The piece is a bass heavy rap rock track with meaningless lyrics by Sirah. Even Linkin Park have left their rap-rock days behind them. "
