John Bush of AllMusic praised Bodily Functions as "the perfect marriage of art and intelligence".[2] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine said: "Often jazzy, often housey and sometimes folky, the album rarely misses a beat in any of its assumed genres."[8] PopMatters writer Kevin Strychalski called the album Herbert's "Mona Lisa", writing that "never before has an artist working within the electronic medium delivered an album of such depth and maturity."[11] Slant Magazine named Bodily Functions the third best album of 2001.[12]

Pitchfork placed Bodily Functions at number 173 on its list of the top 200 albums of the 2000s.[13] Bodily Functions was also named the 16th best album of the decade by Resident Advisor.[14]
