The Horrors was generally well received by critics.

Heather Phares of AllMusic wrote, "Even without the eye candy, their music holds up well; this self-titled EP, which collects the songs from their U.K. singles from spring and summer 2006, is a very entertaining snapshot of their high-style horror-punk."[2] Stuart Berman of Pitchfork wrote, "When compared to typical Brit indie-tabloid fashionista fare, they're a refreshingly lewd and crude anomaly. For all their sartorial extravagance, the Horrors are studious garage-punk purists who like it raw to the bone".[1]
