Safari Disco Club received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics upon its release. While some reviewers praised the tracks' catchy melodies and dancefloor-friendly sound, others found it inferior to their debut album Pop-Up (2007). A few critics even went on to criticize the lead singer Julie Budet's vocal performances.
