I, Too, Have Seen the Woods received mixed reviews from critics. In a negative review, AllMusic's Vince Ripol described the group as artistically stranded. He wrote that the band was still capable of brilliant moments, but that the album lacked the focused direction of prior efforts like Fresh Fruit in Foreign Places and the group's tour de force, Wise Guy.^[1] He describes Darnell as too clever for his own good, but does single out "Dancin' at the Bains Douches" for setting a standard that the surrounding material fails to meet, although "Agony...Ecstasy" and "Call It a Day" are close runners-up.^[1]

In a positive review, Robert Christgau, in The Village Voice, praises Darnell for his consistency and calls the album a typically elegant and literate dance album in which mortality impinges attractively.^[3]
