Critical reception
Ape in Pink Marble has initially received positive reception from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a "weighted average" score to ratings and reviews from selected mainstream critics, the Metascore is a 82, which is based on 4 critical reviews.
Marcy Donelson from AllMusic stated, "The album's overall effect is one of strolling along a seaside path, maybe with a stray dog and a straw hat, in a less-frequented village somewhere far from home, and it's one of Banhart's most satisfying."
