Exclaim! wrote that "on song after song, front man/brain trust Parry Gripp makes clever self-deprecating references all set to some pretty darn catchy pop-punk."[3] The Pitch called the album "irresistible," writing: "Packed with amazing hooks and quotable lyrics, How To Meet Girls is a reminder of how amusing pop can be, delivered with a complete lack of rock-star cockiness."[4] The A.V. Club thought that "Nerf Herder's winking self-satisfaction would be forgivable if the songs were catchier (like, say, Harvey Danger's smug but infectious 'Flagpole Sitta'), but How To Meet Girls is as melodically forgettable as it is lyrically hard to stomach."[9] The Hartford Courant wrote that "the wordplay is moderately more clever than the Bloodhound Gang, but it's the kind of thing you'll throw out once you mature and get into ninth grade."[10]
