Tom Semioli of Allmusic exclaims that "The Benjamins shamelessly display all things great and endlessly endearing about power pop" with nods to The Cars in "Sophia on the Stereo" and Cheap Trick with "Couch". "The Art of Disappointment is a pop/rock joyride without filler."[2] Dave Heaton of PopMatters says "the trio have a snappy sound and memorable hooks, but don't go quite far enough in either direction to make up for the fact that their lyrics are remarkably wishy-washy."[1]
