Amorosi of "Variety" praised the album, calling it a "magnificent, multi-genre mess in a dress of many colors" and "one of the year's boldest and best." Jenessa Williams of "DIY" gave the album a perfect score, calling it "complex, unconventional  and ultimately, essential." Marcus J. Moore of "Entertainment Weekly" gave the album an A, writing, ""græ" finds him trying to be, well, everything, and through a convergence of folk, jazz, classical, and art-rock, along with his probing lyricism, Sumney has managed to produce a sonic marvel." Max Freedman of "The A.V. Club" praised "Part 1" for showcasing Sumney "step outside previous comfort zones" with "Conveyor", "Neither/Nor", and "Virile". However, Freedman criticized "Part 2" as lacking the stylistic and thematic variety of "Part 1" and for occupying "shockingly familiar musical territory" to that of the songs on "Aromanticism".
