Spin called the album "a gorgeous meditation on romantic dysfunction." [14] The Sydney Morning Herald praised the "muted-jazz/Leonard Cohen-knew-my-mother backing." [16] USA Today concluded that "She Haunts My Dreams will be at the top of the list for a bunch of heartbroken losers come the end of the year." [7]
The Sun-Herald wrote: "Stark, elegant and pervasively melancholic, Spain's lo-fi acoustic rumblings are purpose built for Haden's tales of woe." [15] The Los Angeles Daily News noted that, "although plainly influenced by the Velvet Underground, Mazzy Star and the Tindersticks, the trio touches a hard-to-reach nerve with its wistful delivery and melancholic mood." [11] The Virginian-Pilot listed it among the 10 best albums of 1999; The Dallas Morning News considered it to be one of the "9 Best Albums of '99 That Fell through the Cracks". [17] [18]
AllMusic deemed the album "dreamy, lounge-tinged pop." [9] (The New) Rolling Stone Album Guide considered She Haunts My Dreams to be "artfully arranged mopiness." [13]
