Kenyon Hopkin of AllMusic called the album "a soothing listen and one that'll bring you down gently."[3] Peter Marsh of BBC commented that "Apparently the pair came together through a shared love of 'innovative classical music' and while that's not maybe immediately apparent, there is a linear progression to the pieces here that transcend the usual piling up and subtraction that passes for structure in much electronica."[4] Paul Cooper of Pitchfork said, "Though Fahrenheit Fair Enough includes nothing incisive or insightful, it's nonetheless an intriguing release."[6] He added, "it's somewhat frustrating because, while the duo occasionally displays the beauty they're truly capable of, they generally settle for a disappointing simulacrum."[6]
