Brett Uddenberg of URB gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, "Ceschi brilliantly captures the beauty of the musician pouring his soul into his craft in spite of the transitory and often-unappreciated nature of such an existence."[7] Chris Faraone of The Phoenix gave the album 4 stars out of 4 and called it "a triumph of triumphs."[4] Joe Hemmerling of Tiny Mix Tapes gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, commenting that "The One Man Band Broke Up isn't an easy listen, nor a uniformly enjoyable one, but if you've got the stomach for it, it will take you places that few other artists dare to tread."[6] Thomas Quinlan of Exclaim! wrote, "The One Man Broke Up is an ambitious effort, but Ceschi succeeds in telling his story with great detail and atmosphere."[3]
