Adam Clarke of The Skinny rated the album four stars, stating "His words of loss and heartbreak are carried by Rachael's serene, hushed vocals, ensuring that on Pink Silence, Cloth expand their sound while retaining their intimacy – ultimately they succeed in letting go." [1]

Clash assigned it a rating of seven out of ten and remarked, "Where Secret Measure highlighted Cloth's capabilities as a duo, Pink Silence occupies a richer, more expansive space; more cinematic, yet still tangibly tender." [2]

Narc rated it four and a half out of five, describing it as "an album of authentic ease and swirling effortlessly light lyrics, peppered with those dreamy depths of after-hours vibes." [5]
