Reception of Electric Phin Band has been positive. In his review for Allmusic, Fred Thomas described the group's playing as "warped, drunkenly playful, and mired in the influence of Western pop and celebratory psychedelia."[2] Dustin Krcatovich of The Quietus was similarly enthusiastic, saying "the music shares rock and roll's mother-heartbeat propulsion but largely eschews its structures, having much more to do with traditional Thai folk forms. The resulting music is raucous, deft, loud, and awesome."[4] Music journalist Robert Christgau gave the album a B+ on his rating scale, calling the music "lively yet quiet."[3]
