Editors at AllMusic rated this album 3.5 out of 5 stars, with critic Marcy Donelson writing this album "is remarkably timeless-feeling as well as soft-spoken".

[2] Writing for Hot Press Lucy O'Toole rated this album an 8 out of 10, calling it "an album that directly faces up to our current times, while also recognising the ongoing influence of the past". [3] Siobhán Kane of The Irish Times writes that tracks have "spindly eeriness" and are "gorgeously discomfiting" that is "vital, intelligent and dreamy music"; she gave the album 4 out of 5 stars. [4] At musicOMH , Steven Johnson gave Dream from the Deep Well 3 out of 5 stars, summing up that it is "a heavy, lugubrious listen in places but is also the sound of an artist pursuing their art with integrity and investing themselves fully, showing that, while adversity can at times feel all encompassing, there are ways to overcome and find resolution". [5] Sharon O'Connell of Uncut rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, calling this Power's "most resolute set yet". [6] In Under the Radar , Irina Shtreis gave this release a 7 out of 10, calling it "a response to the times when it was created" that neither tries to sugarcoat or escape reality. [7] Uncut editor Michael Bonner included this album on his list of the best of the year. [8]
