[16] Victoria Segal of Mojo gave the album a favorable review,writing,"Behind the parachute silk and dry ice,the smoke and mirrors,stands a record in high emotional definition,its outline becoming sharper by the second." [11] Rachel Aroesti of Q wrote,"Novel and nostalgic,accessible and eccentric,All Mirrors strikes an impressive balance between the familiar and strange –resulting in an album that’s startling and breathtakingly beautiful."

In the review for AllMusic,Marcy Donelson commended Olsen by claiming that "Though she may have initially built her reputation on stark and brittle atmospheres,it turns out that her trademark vulnerability is only elevated by these stirring,highly stylized interpretations,making it a risk that pays off in spades."
