You'll be Fine has received generally positive reviews from contemporary music critics. Luke Nuttall writing for The Soundboard awarded the album a 7 out of 10 rating admitting that "Hot Mulligan haven't come out with a genre-defining opus", but noted that Youll Be Fine "can consistently keep up an emotional core that’s so much more real and an instrumental canvas that directly benefits it without sacrificing its overall melodiousness". [4] Ian Cohen, writing for Pitchfork gave the album a 6.7 out of 10 rating saying that the album's sound feels dated, and that it feels more like an early 2010's emo revival album. Cohen said of You'll be Fine that it "feels like a product of another era: itching to cross over, but without anywhere to cross over to". [2]
