Kenyon Hopkin of AllMusic called the album "a soothing listen and one that'll bring you down gently." [3] Peter Marsh of BBC commented that "Apparently the pair came together through a shared love of 'innovative classical music' and while that's not maybe immediately apparent, there is a linear progression to the pieces here that transcend the usual piling up and subtraction that passes for structure in much electronica." [4] Paul Cooper of Pitchfork said, "Though Fahrenheit Fair Enough includes nothing incisive or insightful, it's nonetheless an intriguing release." [6] He added, "it's somewhat frustrating because, while the duo occasionally displays the beauty they're truly capable of, they generally settle for a disappointing simulacrum." [6]
