Impeach My Bush received generally favorable reviews. The album holds a score of 74 out of 100 on the review aggregator website Metacritic. Heather Phares of Allmusic said, "Even if it's not as traffic-stopping as her debut, this album suggests that she can keep her music interesting for the long haul. Likewise, Tony Naylor of NME commented that the album ‘"is no great sonic leap forward, but it is a near-perfect distillation of Peaches’ 'thing'." Conversely, Dan Marton of The Observer opined, "After three albums, though, Nisker has pushed the sexual warrior princess routine as far as it can go."
Impeach My Bush ranked at number thirty-six on the Best Albums of 2006 list by eMusic.
The album earned Peaches a nomination for Outstanding Music Artist at the 18th GLAAD Media Awards.

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or reception:
“From whichever angle one looks at it, the application of racial theories remains a striking proof of the lowered demands of public opinion upon the purity of critical judgment.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
