AllMusic[6]

David Jeffries of AllMusic awarded American Porn Songs three and a half out of five stars, called it the most cohesive album Eric Powell had composed and said "everything on the album sounds genuinely inspired, coming straight from Powell's ever-blackening heart as if it just needed to get out."[6] Brutal Resonance commended the production quality and composition variety, saying "there are some tracks on this album that vary but most of the tracks follow the same line and it's a pretty straight forward album."[7] Soundsphere Magazine gave the album four out of five stars, praised the music's energetic blend of electro and metal music and called it "a hard-hitting attack on the porn industry and its effect on those who take part."[8]
