John Perry from NME wrote that the album "is damn near the greatest fancy dress-party album... ever. It's a brilliant collection of uplifting smiley grooves Drive Thru Booty is simply pure glittery pop, as smooth and shiny as Kojak in a pink turtleneck." The Guardian deemed it "wonderful, funky, drive-by, bubblegum pop."
