The Quietus noted that "There Is No Space for Us is certainly more straightforward than its predecessors, though it's no less creative for the exercise of reining in some of their more indulgent moments." [2] AllMusic stated that the album "sounds more holistic than its trilogy predecessors, with leaner production, deft arrangements, and extremely inventive songwriting." [1]

Classic Rock gave the album a rating of three and a half stars out of five and remarked, "There Is No Space for Us is about maintaining their vision, although its dystopian elements take on an unfortunate pertinence in the light of Trumpism, Elon Musk and the catastrophes they might portend," [4] while Prog Magazine rated it four stars, referring to the album as "another impressive blend of familiar elements and stylistic surprises in what's effectively a sister album to Stories From Timeand Space." [6]

Louder Than War assigned the album a rating of three and a half stars, stating "This record may not win the band many new converts, although it's as good a place as any to sign up." [5] Blabbermouth described the album as "blending hypnotic rhythms, immersive synths, and driving guitar riffs," [3] while Record Collector noted that it is "sharper" than its predecessor, rating it four stars.
