The album received generally favorable reviews. Adrien Begrand from PopMatters rated Le Pop eight out of ten stars and wrote that its "songs all play to [Katzenjammer's] strengths and, most importantly, are all instantly memorable."[6] In an additional review for PopMatters, Mike Schiller called Le Pop a "great album." Furthermore, he wrote that the album would have the listener "singing along" since its songs are "engrossing and appealing".[5] In a review for The Washington Post, Catherine P. Lewis wrote that the album "never lacks energy" and called it a "charmingly quirky collection of songs." She did, however, write that Katzenjammer's "exuberance [occasionally] teeters on the brink of unbridled chaos," citing the album's title track, which she said "sounds like a circus band gone rogue."[7]

Le Pop was nominated for a Spellemannprisen award for Best Debut Album of the Year in 2008.[8]

Chart performance

In Norway, Le Pop debuted at number nine on the VG-lista albums chart. It remained on the chart for three weeks.[9] The album reached number eighty-six in the Netherlands in October 2009.[10] The revised version of Le Pop reached number seventy-one and remained on the albums chart for two weeks in August 2010.[11]
