''[[CMJ]]'' said that the album was "more rhythmic [[Hip-hop|rap]] than [[heavy metal music|metal]]".<ref name=CMJ>{{cite journal |date=November 26, 2001 |title=New Music Report |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2EvF5UBG23YC&dq=%22Armageddon+Through+Your+Speaker%22+-wikipedia&pg=PA30 |journal=[[CMJ]] |volume= |issue= |publisher=Amazing America, LLC |pages=30 |access-date=January 6, 2025}}</ref> ''[[Exclaim!]]'' wrote that Bionic Jive "writes every song as an epic, with lyrics that dive into places that other groups can't even dream of extracting concepts from".<ref name=Exclaim/>
==Artwork==
The album's cover was painted by [[David Ho (artist)|David Ho]]. The band initially asked to use his illustration ''Future of War'', but Ho felt that the drawing was "too [[fantasy]]-oriented" for the album, so he developed a new painting by tweaking another work of his, ''Contemplations 10''.<ref name=ComputerArts>{{cite journal |date=1999 |title=David Ho |url=https://archive.org/details/computer-arts-special-036-2002/Computer%20Arts%20Special%20030%20%5B2002%5D/page/n29/mode/2up |journal=Computer Arts Special |volume=1 |issue=46 |pages=30–31 |access-date=January 6, 2025}}</ref>

''Exclaim!'' called ''Armageddon Through Your Speaker'' "a brilliant record",<ref name=Exclaim>{{Cite web |title=Bionic Jive |url=https://exclaim.ca/music/article/bionic_jive-armageddon_through_your |access-date=January 6, 2025 |website=Exclaim! |language=en}}</ref> while ''CMJ'' recommended the album to fans of [[Limp Bizkit]], [[Twiztid]] and [[Crazy Town]].<ref name=CMJ/> ''[[AllMusic]]'' said that Bionic Jive "sounded incredibly commonplace if not ubiquitous", writing, "this album just feels too manufactured. The best rap-metal employs its own motifs, draws from its own structures, and ultimately creates its own context. Unfortunately, few rap-metal bands do this circa 2001, and Bionic Jive definitely isn't one of them; they simply synthesize what seems like a potent formula".<ref name=AM/>
