The music on Pandelirium was described by AllMusic as a further departure from the Legendary Shack Shakers' established style than their previous album, displaying a "more European, even Gypsy approach" that mixes "American and European goth sensibilities with the musty roots of country and blues along with the live-fast, die-young energy of early rock." [2] J.D. Wilkes described Pandelirium as the second in a trilogy of albums which started with Believe (2004) that form an "unfolding trilogy of new American Gothic" [3] called the "Tentshow Trilogy" by the band, which concluded with Swampblood (2007). [1]
Exclaim! wrote that Pandelirium evokes "an atmosphere of Screamin' Jay Hawkins with more of a sense of humour and a touch more psychobilly goth than overt voodoo creepiness." [4] The A.V. Club wrote that "The Shack*Shakers underline and punctuate almost every song on Pandelirium to emphasize their dissociation from the Bloodshot/ No Depression scene—it's far more Gogol Bordello than Uncle Tupelo."

Kyle Ryan's review for The A.V. Club rated the album "B−" and commented that the band "fire on all cylinders on Pandelirium's first half, particularly in the nihilistic "No Such Thing," but the carnival theme occasionally gets tiresome thereafter". [5] Sepiachord summed up its review of the record with one word: "DAMN". [6]
