Statik received a score of 76 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on four critics' reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".^[5]

Dash Lewis of Pitchfork characterized Statik as "soft and unsettling", praising the album's ability to evoke "dread-filled anticipation".^[2] Daniel Bromfield of Resident Advisor described the album as Actress' most "accessible" work to date and noted that while Cunningham was "at the peak of his powers", Statik offered a more subdued experience for listeners.^[1] Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Andy Kellman claimed that, "For the listener familiar with Cunningham's past, nothing here is likely to sound novel. It might be surprising how often it verges on "coffee table," though any lounging it inspires would be at least a little uneasy, like waiting for a curfew to lift or a state of emergency to expire."^[6]
