Get Gone was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 72, based on ten reviews.^[1]

AllMusic's Mark Deming praised the album, calling it a "very special dose of rock and soul, and one of the most purely enjoyable debuts of 2016".^[2] Carl Purvis of No Ripcord also praised the work with words: "from the saucy R'n'B of 'Tide' and 'Chandelier', the frenetic 'Choking on Your Spit' to the gorgeous, laid-bare swoon of 'Keep Me', Get Gone is an expertly accomplished piece of work from a band still fledgling in their career".^[4] Kris Needs of Record Collector wrote: "Haynes' mellifluous voice hits home throughout, particularly effective on slower burners such as 'Tide' and 'Keep Me', invoking a deeper hoodoo on 'Kingdom Come' and 'Don't Need It'".^[7] Kevin Irwin of The Line of Best Fit simply resumed: "the formula might not be a new one, and ultimately Seratones are unlikely to change the world, but they will make your day".^[8] Pete Feenstra of Classic Rock saw the album as a "tumble dryer full of retro ideas given a contemporary currency by their restless drive, which evades categorisation".^[3] Allison Hussey of Pitchfork found that the lead singer A.J. Haynes "does so much work on Get Gone that you wind up hoping she follows through on her promise".^[5]

In his mixed review for PopMatters , Dustin Ragucos wrote: "Get Gone might not show its strengths in its lyricism, but it makes up for that by being a talented culmination of energy".^[6]
