Trouser Press called the album "a major disappointment," writing that "the tedious title track, which takes up a third of the short album, is an extended chunk of quasi-sci-fi film filler that feebly attempts to create horrific atmospheres through poorly executed pin-drop drama."[7] The Washington Post wrote that "the album does seem a little sillier than its predecessor; though as catchy and spry as the band's earlier material, such songs as 'Retro Duck' trade rage for playfulness."[8] CMJ New Music Monthly called Inzombia "highly recommended" and "short, sharp, smart and fun."[9]
