Perdida received "generally favorable reviews" according to Metacritic. Paste described the album as "the sound of a band stretching beyond its own self-imposed limits to challenge what a so-called 'acoustic album' can be", commenting on its "seamless blend of country, British and Mariachi folk, orchestral pop and soft rock." [10]

Spin surmised that "this could be the start of a new career path for STP" in a positive review of the album. [11] AllMusic critic Neil Z. Yeung described the album's music as "weathered, weary, and surprisingly beautiful" but "does its best to find hope in the darkness." [5]

Rolling Stone was less enthusiastic about the album, giving it two out of five stars and noted that "unfortunately, by going acoustic—even with a wide palate of instruments like the keyboard, Marxophone, and, of course, flute—Stone Temple Pilots have made an album that's generic." [9]
