Kevin Jones of Exclaim! described the album as "a beat-driven scattershot of raw ideas spliced into two-minute segments that last just long enough to get you attuned to one sound before it's on to the next."[4]
Now noted "funny little quips and thoughts burst out often" and said "Dippin' into 60's soul, 70's psychedelia, 80's pop and 90's melancholy, Clap Trap is diverse."[3]
