Maura Johnston from Rolling Stone gave the album a favorable review, calling Swims a "pop scholar", and that "he shines most brightly when he’s in settings that suggest jukebox hits of yore". [8] NME's Jordan Bassett gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying that "the swiftly released follow-up staves off a bad case of sequelitis because it successfully deepens Swims’ story". [7] Ludovic Hunter-Tilney from the British newspaper Financial Times gave it a 3 out of 5, writing that there is a "calculating heart amid the songs’ romantic turbulence." [5]
Writing for the magazine Variety , Jem Aswad stated that the album "succeeds, although its head-spinning array of genres — different takes on pop, R&B and country — try a little too hard to be everything for everybody." He also applauded Swims' vocal delivery, calling it "stellar" and "versatile", albeit noting that his attempts at multiple genres "do not always land" because of the album's oversized production. [9] Michael Cragg from The Guardian gave the album a mixed review, saying that the album was not "designed to creep up on you". He pointed out Swims’ "occasional lyrical shortcomings" but praised the "airier, soft-rock sound" songs of the album. [6]
