Marisa Brown of AllMusic gave the album 2.5 stars out of 5, commenting that "[SJ] Esau's voice -- part singsongy whine, part breathy croon -- works well as a vessel for the absurdity he's trying to convey, but its contrast to the relatively straightforward, repetitive, even occasionally boring instrumentals behind him can be off-putting."[4] Joe Tangari of Pitchfork gave the album a 4.2 out of 10, writing, "Focused melodies simply don't live here, which makes it hard to keep coming back to even the better arrangements."[6] He added, "[Sam] Wisternoff certainly knows how to handle timbre and tone, but without marrying them to song, he's created an overly uniform record that doesn't stick."[6] Dom Sinacola of Cokemachineglow gave the album a 79% rating, stating, "In fact, everything about Wrong Faced Cat Feed Collapse is overstated, from the milquetoast politics to the dins of release splitting most of the songs into parts."[5]
