Fred Miketa of XLR8R stated, "Composed with perfect amounts of subtle delay, layer upon layer of blissful chimes, and plenty of space, Plume makes for a quintessential escape from life's daily rushes." [11] Rob Theakston of AllMusic commented that "The band are disciplined in their freedom, playing melodic passages with sparseness and attention to timing." [7] Seth K of Tiny Mix Tapes stated, "Plume is humbled by its players' subtlety, and although they're each going through their own self-sustained process, their instruments intertwine beautifully with one another, making their individuality invisible." [10]
Meanwhile, Mark Abraham of Cokemachineglow commented that "Plume's success hinges on a brilliant idea, but it doesn't quite succeed on finding many different ways to explore the tension created between the extremes it tries to meld together, whatever you call them." [8] Mark Richardson of Pitchfork stated, "Plume is certainly a nice-enough record, but it also seems like the kind of music Morgan could do well until the end of time." [9]
The album's song "Rorschach" was used in the 2009 video game Osmos .
All tracks are written by Scott Morgan.
