| Pitchfork | 7.5/10 [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]
