Sputnikmusic's Adam Thomas called the album "a quintessential piece of '90s ska" and concluded that it "shows The Mighty Mighty Bosstones at the top of their game and is one of the greatest ska-punk albums to come out of the nineties.

"[9] AllMusic's Steve Huey also gave the album a positive review, writing: "Even if the production is a tiny bit slick, and the playing time is rather short... it's still difficult to view Let's Face It as anything but a rousing success and easily one of the band's best albums.

Club wrote that "for every misfire like the preachy title track, there's an infectious anthem that begs to be blared from every window in the city.

Play 'The Rascal King' or 'The Impression That I Get' as loud as you can get away with, and ask yourself if the Bosstones aren't back.

"[10] David Fricke of Rolling Stone was more reserved in his praise, criticizing the album's "flat" production.
