Retrospective critical reception of Contents Under Notice has been mixed. Ted Mill of allmusic described Contents Under Notice as a "mixture of wobbly synth beds, industrial noise, scattershot drum machines, eerie whines, and treated vocal samples." Mills gave the release two and a half out of five stars and criticized it for being too lengthy for what it was. However, Trouser Press reviewed the album more enthusiastically. Ira Robbins said "in its raucous, multi-layered complexity, the piece asymptotically approaches sheer white noise din" and that "maybe this is what Martians with insomnia listen to."

The album has never been issued on CD.
