[6] Zach Hollwedel of Under the Radar praised the album, stating, "From the opening riff in "Passerby" to the closing bars of "Own Ways," it is a record from another era, one that deepens and expands with each consecutive listen, as it recalls the likes of Jefferson Airplane and even, on occasion, later and trippier Beatles.

"[9] Heather Phares of AllMusic gave the album a favorable review, stating, "Even if Quilt don't always find the answers they're looking for on Plaza, they've found some of their most confident and cohesive music.

But Quilt's newly straight-laced psych simply doesn't hold the interest of its current peers, whether it's Amen Dunes' drunken confessionals or Widowspeak's dreamy intimacy.

"[14] Graeme Marsh of musicOMH gave the album an average review, stating, "Whilst Held in Splendor was seen as major progress, Plaza as a whole feels more like a band treading water in the middle of a psychedelic ocean wondering which way the land lies.

It would be lazy to arrive at the conclusion that it's simply down to a gaping divide between those tracks led by Rochinski's sultry tones and those where the lead vocals come from her male companions, but it is strikingly obvious that those songs are where an appreciation for Plaza should probably begin.
