"Juice" magazine reviewed "Double Allergic" positively, calling it a much more mature album than its predecessor, "Parables for Wooden Ears". The "band's mellowing tone", compared to the "aggression" in past works, was also commended, with the review stating that "the result is an album filled with potential and character". The experimentation on "JC", "Glimpse" and "Oipic" was again praised, with comparisons to Motown drawn. The review summarised the album as "proof of a band maturing, streets ahead of anything they've previously recorded".
