Transference was placed in the No. 9 position in Exclaim!'s list of Best Pop & Rock Albums of 2010.[6] Exclaim! writer, Ben Conoley said: "With Transference, Spoon take a more minimalist approach than predecessors Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga and Gimme Fiction, demonstrating that great rock music doesn't need more than confidence, swagger and good hooks."
