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:
“I know that I will always be expected to have extra insight into black texts—especially texts by black women. A working-class Jewish woman from Brooklyn could become an expert on Shakespeare or Baudelaire, my students seemed to believe, if she mastered the language, the texts, and the critical literature. But they would not grant that a middle-class white man could ever be a trusted authority on Toni Morrison.”
—Claire Oberon Garcia, African American scholar and educator. Chronicle of Higher Education, p. B2 (July 27, 1994)
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
