Trouser Press wrote that the album demonstrates "an amazing range, yet there’s something insincere about these songs, which seemingly don’t know when to end."[10] The Washington Post stated that it displays "a deft, if overreaching, eclecticism."[11]
The Toronto Star deemed This Is Our Art "spikey guitar pop."[12] The Omaha World-Herald called it "catchier and more melodic" than the band's debut.[13]
AllMusic noted that "the Soup Dragons are far more effective when they're gorging themselves on bubblegum like the sweet jangle pop of 'Soft As Your Face' and 'Turning Stone'."[6] The Rolling Stone Album Guide panned the "astonishingly pointless stylistic range."[9]
