Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that In Motion "is a surprisingly varied album, offering everything from the muscular emo attack of 'No One Really Wins' to the waltz-time accordion-and-falsetto strangeness of 'Kite.'" [3] Seattle Weekly wrote that the album is characterized by an "emo-tinged whine." [9] Paste called the album "disarmingly anthemic power pop filtered through some unexpectedly theatrical Southeastern sun." [10]
