Reception

In Exclaim!, Jordan Currie gave this album 8 out of 10 for having music that "feels like a tangible, lived-in location of its own". Alexa Viscius of Glide Magazine praised Squirrel Flower's "ability to write such stunning sentiments and deliver them with just the right emotions is a clinic on the use of tone and allows her music to come off as a dark yet unforgettable novella". Pastes  Eric Bennett rated this release an 8.8 out of 10, calling it the best Squirrel Flower album to date, highlighting the emotional depth of the lyrics with "songs [that] are an exercise in relief, the sonic equivalent of those rooms where you pay to smash chairs or whip a vase at the wall", as well as lighter themes. Writing for Pitchfork Media, Marissa Lorusso scored this album a 7.4 out of 10, characterizing it as "a compact, muscular record guided by a single-minded intensity". Editors of Rolling Stone chose Tomorrow's Fire as a "Hear This" pick, with critic Leah Lu calling it the act's best album yet and "most outwardly rocking record".
