''Performance and Cocktails'' received generally mixed reviews. At [[AllMusic]], Jason Damas criticised the album for not being as consistent as ''[[Word Gets Around]]''; he did however praise "T Shirt Sun Tan", "She Takes Her Clothes Off" and "[[Pick a Part That's New]]", calling them the highlights of the album.<ref name="allmusic"/>

Brent DiCrescenzo from ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]'' had a generally negative review of the album, comparing Stereophonics to [[Oasis (band)|Oasis]] and by summarising the album as, "Basically, what ''Performance and Cocktails'' boils down to is loud music engineered and crafted for Britain's summer festival circuit that practically guarantees a perennially muddy experience."<ref name="pitchfork"/> Similarly, Barry Walters of ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' also compared the band to Oasis, stating, "[they] sound like Oasis trying to be [[Radiohead]]."<ref name="rollingstone"/>
