The Bob's Burgers Music Album was met with generally positive reviews. At Metacritic, the album received an average score of 77, based on 7 reviews.[1]

Rachel Bowles of The Skinny praised the album saying, "The LP manages to consistently surprise and entertain for its entire running time, just two minutes shy of two hours. Bob's Burgers' unique music provides an offbeat, aural soundscape to its narrative and allows for characters to express themselves".[7] Heather Phares of AllMusic said, "The sheer size of The Bob's Burgers Music Album means that Gene Belcher might be the only one with the stamina to listen to the entire set more than once, but it's great for obsessive fans who can finally own the whole shebang".[2] In his review for Clash, Sam Walker-Smart stated, "Much like the show itself this is a wonderfully crafted set (check out the deluxe ‘condiment’ vinyl), which is at times both smart, sweet and very, very, stupid".[3] Pretty Much Amazing reviewer Daniel Bromfield said, "Bouchard really puts work into these tunes. He strives to make each one better than it really needs to be".[8] The 405 reviewer stated, "Of course, at nearly two hours long, it’s probably not something you’ll listen to all in one go (especially if you’re not a Bob’s Burgers fan), but it’s quite easy to dip in and out of it at your leisure. If you like songs about butts and farts too, then you’re well catered for here".[1] Eric Thurm of Pitchfork said, "It’s pitched almost entirely at “Bob’s” die-hards and listening to this album without being a fan of “Bob’s Burgers” is a fool’s errand. Even for fanatics, the two hours still feels like an ill-advised trek. The ease with which the soundtrack switches between novelty ditties and riot grrrl homage—a genre the show is most cozy with—is part of its draw".[5]

In a mixed review, Record Collector's Mischa Pearlman stated: "Sadly, outside the context of the episodes, the actual ditties are only mildly humorous at best, and barely warrant more than one play through".[6]
