Critical reception

Kenyon Hopkin of AllMusic called the album "a soothing listen and one that'll bring you down gently." Peter Marsh of BBC commented that "Apparently the pair came together through a shared love of 'innovative classical music' and while that's not maybe immediately apparent, there is a linear progression to the pieces here that transcend the usual piling up and subtraction that passes for structure in much electronica." Paul Cooper of Pitchfork said, "Though Fahrenheit Fair Enough includes nothing incisive or insightful, it's nonetheless an intriguing release." He added, "it's somewhat frustrating because, while the duo occasionally displays the beauty they're truly capable of, they generally settle for a disappointing simulacrum."
