Glitterbug has received mixed reviews from critics, with XFM describing it as "outstanding" and "full of wit, heart and huge singalong choruses".[12] It has also been described as The Wombats' "finest album to date".[13] Rolling Stone gave the album a positive review, singling out "The English Summer" and "Isabel" as "terrific".[11] Renowned for Sound claims that The Wombats "don't step wrong once, with every song having a particular merit to it that makes it worth repeating again and again."[10] Rebecca M. Williams of Exclaim! wrote that "while their approach is a little aggressive at times, making it a little too much to take in at once, Glitterbug is full of tracks that prove there's no reason not to indulge in it."[6] However, Michael Hann from The Guardian described the album as "desperately un-involving."[5]

Glitterbug was named one of the best 30 albums of 2015 by Radio X.[14]
