Untame the Tiger received a score of 78 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on 10 critics' reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception. [1] Uncut called it "notable for uncensored emotional gloom and an evergreen college sound", [4] while Mojo stated that "the melancholy feels more goth than hippy and, ultimately, both the sounds and lyrics feel unresolved". [2] Reviewing the album for Pitchfork , Sadie Sartini Garner described it as containing "intensely melodic, disarmingly straightforward songs that feel as loose and casual as old friends" and felt that it "shows that she's determined to avoid ever making depressing music again. Even as it confronts sadness, the album is spritely [and] frequently bright". [3]
