The Cautionary Tales of Mark Oliver Everett received generally positive reviews from critics. On Metacritic, the album has a weighted average score of 70 out of 100 based on 23 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[1]

Phil Mongredien of The Observer wrote: "The subject matter may not be as harrowing as the real-life inspiration for some of his earlier work (most notably Electro-Shock Blues), but this is still a powerful and emotionally coherent set."[7] Lior Phillips of Consequence of Sound was unfavorable, writing: "What The Cautionary Tales needs is a prudent pruning. This album struggles to appear deeper than a common puddle, and while E's previous penchant for sharing has given him a brilliant book of songs from which to draw, I wonder how long he'll stay floating on the surface."
