The A.V. Club wrote: "Adding to the album's timeless intrigue are creepy, cryptic lyrics by singer-pianist Beth Sorrentino."[13] Trouser Press determined that the album "exchanges the debut’s uncertain goals for a tiresome fit of arty adulthood, using delicate watercolors rather than bright fingerpaints."[14] The Tampa Tribune called the album "the point where melancholy languor crosses the line from luxurious to tedious."[11]

The Vancouver Sun thought that "the three-piece manages to pull off a beautifully complete sound that's as melodically addictive as it is outright charming."[12] Rolling Stone concluded that We Get There When We Do "emerges as an uncommonly tenacious album, an oblique yet assertive collection that's like Carole King's Tapestry rewoven from new fabrics."[10]
