Impregnated With Wonder was met with positive reviews upon its release. The A.V. Club named it the 5th-best album of 2011, saying: "Impregnated With Wonder has plenty of gratuitously silly moments, each highlighting Holmes' over-the-top sense of humor." [1] LaughSpin said, "This album may very well be one of the most quotable comedy albums of 2011. The end result is the portrait of a comedian embracing a component of comedy that may seem obvious in having fun." [2] The Laugh Button reviewed the album by stating: "From the moment Impregnated With Wonder begins and without even having a visual, you can tell Holmes is all smiles, with his cherub-like “fat Val Kilmer” looks. It's a must-own record for anyone serious about comedy." [3]
