Lloyd also stated that Jungle's music is "now getting to this place where it sounds freer, and more off the cuff than it's ever done" and the "energy" on Volcano is "very quick and explosive and not so tame".

[12] Ed Lawson of DIY found it to be "more breezy bops than all-out summer smashes, but nevertheless extremely rich and warm in sound".

[13] Reviewing the album for The Line of Best Fit, characterised it as "an eclectic mix of disco, soul and the ever-progressing infusions of hip-hop" that "explor[es] a whole new sphere of genres, eras and musical styles" and "place[s] Jungle at their peak of most progressive yet".

[16] Thomas Smith of NME wrote that "genres, scenes and sounds are whizzed together and go down like a sickly-sweet cocktail at a hazy happy hour in the heights of summer" on the album, but that the duo's "hesitancy" to let their audience know more about them "does something of a disservice to the soul music they worship and lift from here".

[19] Mojo stated that the album "continues where 2021's Loving in Stereo left off",[11] and Uncut felt that "the result sees them maintain high energy levels while showing off a richer musical palette and a keener sense of flow".
