Tanu I. Raj of NME described the album as "largely dominated by synthpop and R&B" and felt that the "upbeat energy of 'Brought the Heat Back' is surprisingly aplenty across Romance:Untold,in contrast to the gloomy vibes of the album's teasers". Raj found the chorus of "Royalty" to be "annoying" and "Paranormal" an "awkward addition" for its drum 'n' bass style.
