Charles Isherwood in The New York Times called information technology "a vibrant, transporting new musical," and both Times theater critics included the show on their Best of the Year lists.[24] The Times' classical critic, Anthony Tommasini, called it "a breathless, roughish and ravishing quasi-opera. This is a pastiche score of a condescending sort. Mr. Malloy lifts styles with such abandon, making willful shifts – from punk riffs to agitated Broadway ballads, mock-pompous recitative to gritty Russian folk songs or drinking choruses with klezmer clarinets – that you lose runway of what is beingness appropriated and really don't intendance."[25] Time Out New York gave the piece five out of five stars, and also included it on both critics' All-time of lists, stating "this is theater like no other in New York. It grounds you and transports yous at in one case, and leaves you beaming with pleasance."[26]
