Critical reception

|---|---|
| Source | Rating |
| The Forty-Five | 7.9/10[1] |
| Pitchfork | 6.7/10[2] |
Sophie Walker, writing for The Forty-Five called the album "fun" but lacking creativity, saying "If Cake Pop only wanted to push the envelope just that little bit further to find new, uncharted territory in an increasingly rigid hyperpop universe – and to have fun doing it – then Cake Pop 2 truly is a thing of great, rowdy, ridiculous beauty."[1] Joshua Bote of Pitchfork called the album "a lively introduction to Cake Pop and its members, but as the sounds of Brady's busy schedule leak in, there's a sense that we've heard most of it before. Though the production flexes to fit the eccentricities of each song, the tailoring could have been closer."[2]
