Fuckin' Up received a score of 81 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on five critics' reviews, which the website categorised as "universal acclaim". Mojo commented that there is an "undeniable zip" to the tracks, while Uncut felt that the album "captures Young and the Horse on blazing form", noting that Nelson is "a capable duelling partner for Young" and "Lofgren's honky-tonk piano lends a shimmying quality to these craggy, elemental songs". PopMatters{{'}} Christopher J. Lee said that it "highlights Neil Young and Crazy Horse at their best – loose, loud, and long-lasting, but without being long-winded".

A staff review from AllMusic stated that the tracks are "refram[ed ...] in a live setting that's somehow even more ragged, and just as glorious" and "stretche[d] out a little more than on record [...] as Young tries new tricks with his guitar tones and the band injects some exploration into the jammier sections of the tunes". Nick Seip of Slant Magazine felt that the live setting adds "even more grit and grime" as "it's truer to the spirit of the material, as the messier mix captures the energy of a one-and-done performance". Stuart Berman of Pitchfork commented that "the lack of contextual detail puts the focus squarely on Crazy Horse's incandescent noise and slack yet unfailingly steady momentum" and the album "makes a convincing case for Ragged Glory as the definitive Crazy Horse album, showcasing the group in their purest, crudest state".
