Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club viewed Farewell Fondle 'Em as an "homage to Bobbito's low-budget, overachieving indie".[4] Matt Cibula of PopMatters wrote, "The music on Farewell Fondle 'Em was never going to set the commercial world on fire -- it's too weird, too edgy, too much fun to listen to."[1]

In 2015, Fact placed the album at number 66 on its "100 Best Indie Hip-Hop Records of All Time" list.[5]
