At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Thee Physical received an average score of 73, based on 11 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[7]

Kate Shapiro of CMJ said, "Pictureplane's Travis Egedy has always been one for fist-pumping, electronic opuses, but Thee Physical, with its exploration of gender and sexuality, marks a departure from the big, electronic sound and a move to, well, damn good pop songs."[10] Matt James of PopMatters gave the album 7 stars out of 10, saying: "despite some desperately un-sexy, clumsy faux-pas in the introduction, Thee Physical does ultimately deliver a gratifyingly memorable evening and is ripe for the plucking."[13] David Malitz of The Washington Post called it "Pictureplane's most professional collection of songs to date."[16]

Stereogum placed it at number 28 on the "Top 50 Albums of 2011" list.[17]
