Critical reception

Critical reception of "Funhouse" has so far been positive. There's More Where That Came From' gave the song an A- stating, "'Funhouse' has the energy of 'So What' but surpasses it half-way through, when the song breaks into true rocker mode. Something we haven’t seen from Pink since 'Trouble' back in 2003!"[2]
