Itekoma Hits received generally positive reviews from critics. AllMusic critic Heather Phares praised the band "for making their pummeling attacks sound both furious and gleefully liberated" and noted that the newly-recorded tracks "add more detail and sophistication" to the band's sound. Phares concluded that the album "doesn't leave listeners a moment to catch their breath -- or grow bored." [2] In the words of PunkNews, "The four women who make up Otoboke Beaver are so unbelievably talented and insane and frenetic that the twenty-seven or so minutes that make up this album grab you immediately and never let you go." [5]
Vrinda Jagota of Pitchfork described the album as "a tornado of defiance" and "fueled by a rage so ferocious it's thrilling to behold." [3] Chris Conaton of PopMatters criticized the construction of some of the songs, but concluded that "Even when they're angry, these women are clearly having a great time, and that enthusiasm makes for an infectious listening experience." [4]
