Critical reception to Flower of Devotion was largely favorable, with commentators taking note of the album's more refined production. Scott Russell of Paste noted it "Dehd's best album to date, a significant upgrade on their sound that finds their Windy City DIY scene-honed amalgam of surf rock, shoegaze and dream pop at its most melodic and expressive." [8] Pitchfork 's Steven Arroyo designated it with the publication's "Best New Music" tag, noting that "the Chicago DIY trio sound newly airy and lush, but no less direct and sincere. Their confidence in their concision is the best part." [9]
