Declan Lynch of the Irish Independent compared Your Bad Self to its similar BBC counterpart The Fast Show, judging it to be "highly-nuanced and deeply intelligent comedy".[4] His counterpart John Boland sat through it in "stony silence".[5] Paul Whittington said it was "fresh and original" with a "good and dark" tone.[6]
