The album received generally favorable reviews. It earned a collective score of 68 out of 100 from Metacritic. [4] Adam Bregman from Allmusic commented, "This French-Swiss duo pumps out retro-'80s-style disco beats and silly lyrics, creating a fun, goofy, ironic vibe [...] They seem to be trying to reach over and above that generally stale genre, and they mostly succeed." [5]
Fact placed First Album at number 92 on its "100 best: Albums of the Decade" list. [6] Mixer placed First Album at number five on its "Best Albums of 2002" list. [7] Muzik placed it at number 15 on its list of the "Top 30 Albums of 2001". [8] Resident Advisor ranked the album number 94 on its list of the "Top 100 albums of the 2000s". [9]
