Slava Kuperstein of HipHopDX praised the album, concluding "as it stands, Wanna Snuggle? falls short of spectacular, but it is a memorable addition to not only Apathy's catalog, but any head's collection as well".[1] Aaron Matthews of Exclaim! stated: "the album's first half is excellent but Wanna Snuggle?'s back end is loaded with second-string guests and overwrought concept tracks".[3] Andrew Martin of PopMatters wrote: "what's frustrating about this is Apathy made this album unreasonably long at 21 tracks that clock in at nearly 70 minutes. Take the editor's scissors to the tracklist, get rid of seven to eight tracks, and you would have what is close to a perfect album".[2]
