Critical reception

Professional ratings
Review scores
SourceRating
Pitchfork 6.5/10 [5]

Writing for Pitchfork, Peyton Thomas called the album a "self-assured celebration of family, friendship, and muddy puddles". Thomas wrote that "Recycling" was reminiscent of Fiona Apple's work, and that both "The School Bus Song" and "Winter Days" introduce elements of "British and American folk music" to the album. However, Thomas opined that "Peppa's Adventures is most compelling when Peppa departs from her standard chamber-pop formula", citing "Bing Bong Champion" as "ambitiously maximalist" and "among her best work to date", comparing it to Taylor Swift's "State of Grace". [5]

The official Peppa Pig X (formerly Twitter) account later responded to the Pitchfork review, gloating that the publication gave the album a higher score than Donda by Kanye West, which received a 6.0/10. The tweet was deleted shortly thereafter but received attention from fans. [6]
