[2] In a review for AllMusic, Marcy Donelson wrote: "With the feather-light vocals, sustained keyboard hum, and unadorned kick drum that open Somewhere, Sun June seem to pick up right where their stark and gentle 2018 debut, Years, left off.

As it progresses, however, the sophomore album ventures into more-fully arranged, five-piece territory - potentially six with the touches of synths and percussion by producer Danny Reisch - a benchmark that wasn't reached on a debut recorded while some members were still learning their instruments.

The pensive music is a vehicle for haunting lyrics that examine love from the eyes of the participants who are caught up in the joy of newfound romance while somewhat leery and unsure about where it’s headed"[1] Writing for The Line of Best Fit, Jay Singh gave the album an eight out of ten, praising "Colwell"s light, airy vocals", and the "heavenly melodies" of the guitars.
