I'm Totally Fine with It Don't Give a Fuck Anymore received a score of 85 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on seven critics' reviews, which the website categorised as "universal acclaim".[2] Stuart Berman of Pitchfork wrote that Arab Strap "stand among indie rock's most astute observers of human behavior in the digital age" with the album, which "features some of their punchiest productions to date, expanding the cheeky 'disco Spiderland' template of its predecessor into more forceful displays of rhythm and discord".[1] Joe Rivers of Clash felt that Arab Strap "remain experts at chronicling the world around them" on an album "full of piss and vinegar, but it's full of desire, regret and love, too".[3]

Mojo described the album as "thrillingly raw" with the band "at their most streamlined, visceral and direct, disproving F Scott Fitzgerald's theory about second acts".[4] Uncut wrote that "Arab Strap songs mostly have a strong, vinegary flavour, and this is a bracingly sour album over the long haul. The relentless misanthropic grind can drag in places. But as ever, Moffat's withering scorn is sweetened by beautiful poetry, tender emotion and self-aware, bruise-black humour".[7]

PopMatters' Nick Soulsby found that I'm Totally Fine with It "has some of most straight-rocking moments", particularly on "Allatonceness" and "Strawberry Moon", and called the album "such an eruption of creative energy from a band on a renewed jag of pure inspiration".[6] Reviewing the album for MusicOMH, Ross Horton remarked that the band are "stronger than ever" with "morosely funny lyrics, and a pitch-perfect retro sound design that alternates between deadly serious and utterly comical".[5] Michael James Hall of Under the Radar said that "these are pop songs, in a way, memorable, melodically awesome at times, but fed through an unrelenting mincer of misery".[8]
