I got started really young doing this, and I feel like I've had a very busy 12 years or so in the industry and I kind of convinced myself that the moments where I was making music and when I was on tour and when I was my busiest was when I was growing, she shared of the metaphorical album title. As I've gotten a little bit older, I realized it's actually been the moments that I've been able to tune out the noise and I've been able to be alone, really reflect and be more isolated where I've grown the most. So, it's the silence between songs and when the noise is turned off is when I feel like I've learned who I am the most.
— Beer speaking about Silence Between Songs [6]

Silence Between Songs was met with generally positive reviews from music critics upon its release. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 70, based on six reviews. [14] Poppie Platt of The Telegraph called it "vastly superior" to Life Support as it is "full of smooth, stylish pop songs just begging to become radio hits" and "seems like the album Beer has been wanting – and waiting – to make for a long, long time". [19] Lauren deHollogne of Clash characterized the songs as "carefully crafted compositions" with "magically soft harmonies" that "seem to have more of an actual purpose", and concluded that the album is a "record with a message that is so authentically her". [17]
The Line of Best Fit 's Sam Franzini wrote that much of the album is "gentle, unassuming pop" and while "there are some exciting ideas here", it gets too "bogged down by an odd reframing of the past" as "Beer spends too much time looking through rose-colored glasses, wondering how her story will be told, for it to be relatable". [1] Thomas Smith of NME called most of Silence Between Songs "a clear nod to Tame Impala's psych-rock as well as swooning '60s pop and rock" but stated that "there's one too many generic, string-laden ballads, and a stop-start feel to the record".
