Slightly less favourable was Allison Fields of Pitchfork, who wrote ""Feminist Sweepstakes" wants to be a terrifically fun album, yet with no deviation from the ceaseless politics and endless drum machine beats, things go stale." Andy Battaglia of The A.V. Club wrote "Hanna is a crafty writer who can give song lyrics the weight of a master's thesis, but she often sounds tired and resigned this time out" and that the album "suggests a band less inspired by its own purpose."
