Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic described Camoufleur as "a subdued, meditative affair, bringing together elements of folk, jazz, film music, and the avant-garde."[2] Joshua Klein of The A.V. Club felt that the album's "move toward more standard song structures, while not a radical revamp, sounds fresh and enjoyable."[6]
Pitchfork placed it at number 38 on the "50 Best Albums of 1998" list.[7] Marc Hogan said: "This is meticulous, introspective chamber-pop, unfurling a bit like Van Dyke Parks’ work with Brian Wilson."[7]
