AllMusic described In Love Again as "a buzzy indie pop delight, full of surprises that pay off handsomely."[2] The Guardian stated about the album "In Love Again, meanwhile, was born out of the principals' two recent breakups and occupies itself with all that pain, all those feelings. All of indie rock seems to be contained within these 10 tracks, alchemised into buzzy, saturated, melodic gold,"[4] while New Noise Magazine wrote "This may not be the record fans of Joanna Gruesome expected to hear from two of their alumni, but it’s certainly one they should be grateful for," giving it four out of five stars.[3]
Mojo reviewed the album, stating "One of those bracing, snarky, crafted and fun records that reminds you of a bunch of old favourites while simultaneously exerting its own personality,"[5] while Uncut wrote "They take a clear delight in topping their scrappy indie-pop tunes with folk-rock vocal harmonies."[6]
