In his retrospective review for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote: "although "Whoomp! (There It Is)" is a wonderfully mindless single, it can't carry an entire album alone. Nothing else on Tag Team's debut album comes close to matching the delirious chanting and rolling beats of the single, making Whoomp! (There It Is) a pretty tedious affair".
