For Ars Technica, Benj Edwards wrote that Udio's generation capability was imperfect and "less impressive" than Suno AI's, noting that its songs were substantially shorter than Suno AI's. He also called the songs it produced "half-baked and almost nightmarish".[9] In response to the company's announcement of Udio's beta release on Twitter, Telefon Tel Aviv member Joshua Eustis tweeted that Udio was "an app to replace musicians" and called into question the data that it used. Udio has also been criticized online as "soulless" and for having the potential to create audio deepfakes.[10][7] Lucas Ropek of Gizmodo stated that Udio was "full of acoustical nonsense" and that its songs were "extraordinarily bad".[14]
