Bacteria Cult was met with generally favourable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 80 based on four reviews.
AllMusic's James Christopher Monger stated that the album "needs a little time to get into your bloodstream before it can be reckoned with, but ultimately, it's an infection worth sweating through". John Gentile of Punknews.org wrote: "there is a great deal of fun being had by all parties here. But, unlike, perhaps other works that reference classic styles, this is no send up or wry reference, but a sheer appreciation for the work of the weirdo masters of yesteryear... as performed by the weirdo masters of today". Rachel Thompson of The Line of Best Fit resumed praising "Ipecac Recordings for allowing these two visionaries to continue to challenge the purpose and the manner of music".
