Marcy Donelson at AllMusic gave the album four out of five stars, writing that "Ultimately, Young Enough outshines a promising debut, delivering a steady mix of summery earworms and angst." [4] Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone called it "the mark of a band deepening the feelings of real personal struggle beneath the churning guitars and sheer melodies." [7] At Pitchfork , reviewer Quinn Moreland gave the album an 8.0/10, writing that "It's also not uncommon for bands to lose their lyrical sincerity within a newfound over-produced sound. On Young Enough, Charly Bliss walk this thin line gracefully." [6] Stereogum designated it their Album of the Week, with writer Tom Breihan, extolling the release as "sound[ing] the way major-label debuts used to sound [...] Charly Bliss have figured out how to make polished, hooky rock music that radiates energy and life, something of a lost art these days." [8]
Ben Salmon at Paste said that "Young Enough introduces new moods and textures without tamping down the band’s irrepressible likeability." [5]
