Liz Hoggard from The Guardian gave the album a positive review, stating "Fans of the Puppinis' three-part harmonies (among them Prince Charles) won't be disappointed by their second album, which mixes covers with original compositions. It's their most daring tracks that work the best. Beyonce's 'Crazy in Love' is an exuberant jazzy deconstruction; Barry Manilow's 'Could It Be Magic' voices the love Barry certainly never dares to name; while their own composition, 'And She Sang', is a Fellini film in miniature. And if you really want to wallow, go straight to 'We Have All the Time in the World'. You won't hear a more exquisite track all year."
Allmusic's Rovi commented that The Rise and Fall of Ruby Woo follows a similar template to The Puppini Sisters' debut album Betcha Bottom Dollar and while that it is "fine as far as it goes", the joke was wearing thin. He continued "The Puppini Sisters' salvation is clearly in their original material. All three Sisters write solid tunes; the sooner they can come up with a full album's worth of original tunes, the better their career prospects will be."
Kevin R. Convey, writing for the Boston Herald, said "On their sophomore set, the UK-based Puppinis (not actual siblings) attempt to build their new-millennium-Andrews-Sisters shtick into more mature, musically accomplished territory. Sometimes the quirky covers work: The locomotive rhythm that propels 'Spooky' is pure genius, as is the upright bass and violin treatment of Beyonce's 'Crazy in Love'. And the Middle Eastern yodeling that punctuates "Walk Like an Egyptian" is as innovative as it is hilarious. But even with some solid originals, the formula occasionally backfires".
