According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Free Humans received "generally favorable reviews" based on a weighted average score of 78 out of 100 from 6 critic scores.[5] Writing for AllMusic, Fred Thomas described Free Humans as a "dense album, with sounds stuffed into every available space and fields of ideas painstakingly arranged on each song."[1] Jazz Monroe of Pitchfork said that the album was "guided by a childlike innocence," also noting that the "silly-serious concept is as wonderful as the band’s delight in it".[2]
