The album is a continuation of Aoki's Neon Future series, which explores the intersection of technology and humanity. The album's sound is a fusion of electronic dance music, hip hop, and rock. The album's lead single, "Delirious (Boneless)," featuring Chris Lake and Tujamo, was a commercial success, peaking at number 18 on the US Dance/Electronic Songs chart.

Neon Future Il received mixed reviews from music critics. Some praised the album's diverse range of collaborations and its ability to blend different genres seamlessly. Others criticized the album for being too formulaic and repetitive, with many of the tracks sounding similar to one another.
