Rosegold received generally favorable reviews from critics noted at review aggregator Metacritic . It has a weighted average score of 70 out of 100, based on 7 reviews. [3] AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote, "Sometimes, Rosegold threatens to drift away yet it's never threadbare: It's a singular mood piece, one that suits a spell of twilight reflection." [4] Paste 's Ellen Johnson wrote, "It's easy to sink into these 10 songs". [5] Pitchfork 's Stephen M. Deusner wrote that Monroe "flattens out the twang and borrows from pop and hip-hop, to mixed results", and that "once you get past the gutsiness of an artist willing to jettison her comfort zone, what you're left with is muddled and unsatisfying." [6]
Under the Radar 's Mark Moody wrote that "If more focused, and either working exclusively with [producer Mike] Reaves or someone outside the Nashville inner circle, Rosegold could have had more of a chance to shine as a unified release. As it is, there are a handful of worthwhile singles worth mining, but unlike Monroe's work to date, as a whole the album doesn't coalesce as it could have." [8] Slate 's Jim Malec wrote that the album "once again finds the singer-songwriter traversing new ground, but it's an even sharper departure from her previous work", and that "it's an ambitious exercise in style that's ultimately lacking in substance."

I usually have full songs written, but I just felt like I wanted to do things a little differently. What emerged was a portrait of my life right now, which is pretty solitary and slightly isolated but not unpleasantly so. I was exploring what it’s like to be alone a lot of the time. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes it could be a very good thing."
