Critical reception

John Bush of AllMusic praised Bodily Functions as "the perfect marriage of art and intelligence". Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine said: "Often jazzy, often housey and sometimes folky, the album rarely misses a beat in any of its assumed genres." PopMatters writer Kevin Strychalski called the album Herbert's "Mona Lisa", writing that "never before has an artist working within the electronic medium delivered an album of such depth and maturity."
Pitchfork placed Bodily Functions at number 173 on their list of top 200 albums of the 2000s. It was also named the 16th best album of the decade by Resident Advisor. Slant Magazine named it the 3rd best album of 2001.
