Reviewing Like Weather for AllMusic, John Bush noted the album's "tremendously eclectic" tone, which he said "is of an experimentalism far in advance of other electronic singer/songwriter acts out there."[6]

At the end of 1998, NME named Like Weather the year's 10th best album.[12] In 2015, it was placed at number six on Fact's list of the best trip hop albums of all time, with the magazine calling it "a hazy, underwater daydream of a record with half-heard soul, pop and chiming ice cream truck electronics swirling together in a soup of memory and emotion. Not quite trip-hop and not quite illbient, it certainly wasn't IDM either."[13] Two years later, Fact listed Like Weather as one of the best albums of 1998,[14] and Pitchfork ranked it as the 39th best IDM album of all time.[15]
