[5] More Scared of You than You Are of Me received an average critical score of 87 out of 100, indicating "Universal Acclaim", on Metacritic, based on five reviews.

[9] Writing for Tone Deaf, Joseph Earp called the album "a stunning achievement in its own right", rating the album 4 and a half out of 5 and saying " Not a line or a hook is wasted, and despite the fact the running time brushes up close to the 40-minute mark, nothing about the record feels overlong or unnecessary.

Rather, the 12-song collection ensnares listeners with its tight song structures, yelping melodies and energy delivered via middle-of-the-neck pitched guitar riffs."

Jonny Nail from Rolling Stone Australia gave the album 4/5 stars and said "As a test of the versatility of their trademark sound, More Scared Of You... is a pass.

Three of the album's singles appeared in Triple J's Hottest 100 with "Death To The Lads" reaching #21 in 2016[12] while "Passiona" and "Birthdays" came in at #49 and #21 respectively in 2017.
