[1] This Is for the White in Your Eyes received largely positive reviews from contemporary music critics.

The sound of the album drew comparisons to artists such as Bon Iver and Sigur Rós.

Club gave the album a positive review, stating, "This Is for the White in Your Eyes is majestic and haunting in the best sense, as Makrigiannis uses strings, chopped-up percussion tracks, and his own multi-tracked voice to create the sense of a gradually unfolding moment.

Makrigiannis' style makes a strong first impression, as his songs flow naturally from muted sorrow to booming emotion and back.
