AllMusic's Greg Prato proclaimed Forbidden Places to be "one of [the band's] finest albums", complementing the album's more country-informed tracks as "splendidly" showing off the Meat Puppets' "cowboy roots". [1]
In August 1991, Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune praised Forbidden Places, awarding it three and a half-of-four stars and writing that the band's "casual brilliance becomes more dazzling with each play". [2]
