"Produced by Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos, the multi-national group fuses Argentine cumbia, Peruvian chicha, and Turkish psych into a giddy sound that leans unabashedly retro ... Let the Festivities Begin! is music to dance to, to roll a joint to, to solve a decades-old mystery to, but it isn't a masterwork that unfolds with multiple listens. It's exactly what it promises, and that's a party".

"There are moments where it feels like Los Bitchos could go prog-rock and follow a musical idea for another ten minutes, but they always manage to pull back and stick to pop song lengths for their tunes. The longest track on Let the Festivities Begin! is just under four minutes long, but the band makes each second of every song count. Los Bitchos bring the festivities to a satisfying close with the mysterious "Lindsay Goes to Mykonos", inspired by a short-lived Lindsay Lohan reality show. But hopefully, for Los Bitchos and the rest of us, the party has just begun".
