Cam Lindsay of Exclaim! described The Action Packed Mentallist Brings You the Fucking Jams as "a record that is so extreme and blatantly illicit that you have to wonder how enormous this guy's nads really are".^[6] David M. Pecoraro of Pitchfork wrote that the album "offers a gimmick that just can't be beat" and praised tracks such as "MP3 Killed the Radio Star" and "Never Underestimate the Value of a Holler (Vipee-Pee Mix)",^[4] but felt that others such as "Kiddy Needs a New Pair of Laptops" and "Smack My Glitch Up" did not offer significant variations on their source material.^[4] AllMusic critic Tim DiGravina opined that it was "a fun album, though it seems rushed, perhaps because Kid606 wanted to stake his claim in the genre."^[2]
