Hey Panda received a score of 89 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on five critics' reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[1] Uncut called it "beautifully now",[5] while Mojo wrote that it "may seem whimsical at first, but its depth is all the grander for the work it takes to mine its many gems".[3] MusicOMH's Steven Johnson stated that Hey Panda "reinforces the view that O'Hagan is a special composer and bandleader of note. It sees him push himself creatively further than he's ever done to date, delivering a unique, fascinating, compelling album in the process".[4]

Ryan Dillon of Glide Magazine felt that "these twelve songs carry the weight of time as it feels like we are reintroduced to the band despite their storied tenure as pop's most unpredictable offering strikes again with ambitious concepts executed to the highest order".[6]
