The album received generally negative reviews. Danny Schwartz, writing for Rolling Stone, characterized Supermarket as "uniquely bad", "bold yet bland" and a "suite of vapid love songs".[1] Reed Jackson of Pitchfork described it as "a painful journey across guitar music of the past five decades."[6] Calum Slingerland of Exclaim! negatively reviewed both the album and the accompanying novel, stating that "those who aren't card-carrying Rattpack devotees will come away with little to chew on".[5]

The album peaked at number 56 on the Billboard 200, with 11,823 total album-equivalent units, 2,947 of which were pure album sales.[7]
