" Jer Fairall of PopMatters wrote , " Look no further than the wry chorus hook of “ Fembot ” for proof of Robyn ’ s deftly subversive sense of humor .

" Fairall , however , thought that " the verses are nothing more than an inventory of the titular ‘ bot ’ s synthetic virtues . " Ben Norman of About.com selected the song as his favorite track on Body Talk Pt . 1 , and wrote that " ' Fembot ' is the incredibly quirky and well @-@ written Robyn @-@ rap track that needs to be heard to be believed .
