Trouser Press wrote: "Sweetly engaging and as freshly cut as a suburban lawn on Sunday afternoon, Electric Juices is Fuzzy perfection."[6]The Washington Post called the songs "buoyantly tuneful in the manner of '60s Top-40 fare," writing that "Fuzzy's melodic gifts dwarf those of most of its peers."[11] The Orlando Sentinel concluded that "the distorted guitars and heavy, post-punk rhythms make for an interesting contrast with the New Wave-y 'Drag', the power-poppy 'Sleeper' and the bouncy 'Girl Don't Tell Me'."[12]
The Intelligencer Journal deemed the album "guitar pop of a high order," writing that "what makes Fuzzy special is the harmony singing of [Chris] Toppin and [Hilken] Mancini, whose voices blend beautifully."[13] The Vancouver Sun opined: "Blasting open with zippy burst of harmonies and a driving beat, Fuzzy fills out more space than the cuddle-core movement and its diametric opposite: riot-grrl thrust."[10] The New York Daily News thought that Mancini "boasts an appealingly impish sound, while her band specializes in dinky alternative-pop."[14] The Boston Herald included Electric Juices on its list of the 10 best albums of 1996.[15]
AllMusic wrote that "'Someday' and 'Christmas' are the only tracks that have the ambition to be more than just sunny mid-tempo rockers, but their impact is reduced by the sedated state of mindless comfort listeners are placed into over the course of the first nine songs."[8]
