At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 85, based on 9 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[9]

Paul Simpson of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying: "With greater emotional depth and sonic clarity than her past recordings, Working Class Woman is an exciting breakthrough for Davidson."[10] Sophie Kemp of Pitchfork wrote: "The lines between seriousness and humor are blurry, and that's kind of the point, where the album excels is in Davidson's ability to very much intentionally confuse her listener."[3] Briony Pickford of The Skinny gave the album 5 stars out of 5, describing it as "a mix of successful, feminist personas commenting over relentless drums and chaotic synths."[16]

gollark: Strictly speaking it isn't exactly a haiku in the original sense, but that's basically the definition used in the English-speaking world now so OH WELL.
gollark: Mine just does syllable counts per message and sees if there's been a 5/7/5 pattern.
gollark: There are probably python ones.
gollark: I don't know, I use a random NPM package which appears to work.
gollark: It's even better on IRC because I have four instances of the bot running for reasons, along with a bridge to Discord.
