Reception

The album garnered generally positive praise upon its release. Almost Cool Music Review called Oswalt "One of the funnier comics working today." The Orange County weekly said of the album: "So gratifying and unhackneyed are Oswalt’s scathing riffs that by disc’s end, you want to buy him a bottle of wine that’s beyond your price range." Stylus Magazine gave the album a B+, saying, " ... Werewolves is a classic comedy album in that it captures a seasoned comedian at his prime, spectacularly displaying his trademarks while proving himself able to bring in audiences skeptical of his cynicism." Pitchfork also referred to this as Oswalt's magnum opus.
