Nitsuh Abebe of Pitchfork gave the album an 8.3 out of 10, saying, "There's hardly a minute on this record that doesn't keep turning out to be way more fun than the last time you heard it."[2] Tim O'Neil of PopMatters gave the album a 6 out of 10, commenting that "Hello Mom! is, like the very best albums, gleefully diverse and yet strangely focused."[3] He added, "There are as many different flavors of techno as you can imagine here, but it all comes from the same impulse, a puckish desire to leave no stone unturned in their indefatigable quest to destroy the very notion of a techno orthodoxy."[3]
