Stereo Review thought that "the fourteen cuts are actually an embarrassment of riches, like a greatest-hits album from the land of ought-to-be." [11] Trouser Press wrote that "the disc’s only real negative aspect is the disappointingly thin-sounding production." [12]
The Chicago Tribune praised "Am I Dancing or What?", writing that it "finds the 'Tones taking a slow ska boat down the Mersey and jumping off for an exuberant psychedelic break in midstream." [9] The Virginian-Pilot determined that "the chinka-chinka guitar, Lennon-esque harmonica and perfect harmonies give the disc a feel that is refreshingly unpretentious." [13]
AllMusic called the album "infectious Beatlesque power pop ... easily their best songwriting." [8] MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide concluded that Oh Yeah! "assimilates the Spongetones' influences into a brilliant work that's still beholden to the Beatles, but less slavish in its devotion." [10]
