Johnny Loftus of AllMusic awarded The Psychopathology of Everyday Life four out of five stars and said "highlights include "JLH," in which Hall commends Jennifer Love Hewitt for not speaking out against war, politics, or 9/11" and ""Eating People" sets up the classic King Missile paradox, in which the listener is at once repulsed with Hall's logic, while being impressed that he's so convincing."[1]
