Brett Uddenberg of URB gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, "Ceschi brilliantly captures the beauty of the musician pouring his soul into his craft in spite of the transitory and often-unappreciated nature of such an existence."[6] Chris Faraone of The Phoenix gave the album 4 stars out of 4 and called it "a triumph of triumphs."[3] Joe Hemmerling of Tiny Mix Tapes gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, saying, "The One Man Band Broke Up isn't an easy listen, nor a uniformly enjoyable one, but if you've got the stomach for it, it will take you places that few other artists dare to tread."[5] Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! said, "The One Man Broke Up is an ambitious effort, but Ceschi succeeds in telling his story with great detail and atmosphere."[2]
