The album was highly praised by the critics. So The Guardian and The Observer awarded full marks for the album. Allmusic rated the album four out of five and Pitchfork Media with 9.0 of 10 points.

Also laut.de awards with five out of five full points and draws as a conclusion:

" Categorizations such as neo-folk or freak -folk bring the music of this young quintet's not really the point. Your music makes the Folkpop any case appear in a new light. The Fleet Foxes draw on different folkloric traditions of the world and combine them in eleven timeless songs that they themselves describe as "baroque harmonic pop jams". Let's leave it there. Great debut of a somehow different band that defies the depths of humanity in a very magical way. "
