The Space Between received positive reviews from critics. Briana Younger from Pitchfork said, "The writing is simple but effective; the productions are intricate but subtly propulsive.

Majid Jordan haven't strayed too far from their typical formula, but keep things interesting for their fans with introspective lyrics and new sounds." [13]
