AllMusic4/5 stars[2]
MusicOMHfavorable[3]
Pitchfork7.5/10[4]

Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying: "The band's got the whole package, from top-shelf songcraft to soft synth-led hooks to dancefloor-ready rhythms (the bassist must know each and every Peter Hook line inside out) -- all the way down to the constant flitting between exuberance and melancholia."[2] David Welsh of MusicOMH said, "it seems that Zoot Woman's self-titled effort is easily one of the best electronic releases of 2003 so far."[3]
