AllMusic[5]

Naujour received mediocre reviews from cities. Timothy Monger from AllMusic noted that the album follows a pattern of "confessional, inward-looking songs with a strong melodic component" and that "the album doubles down on introspective material with songs that run the gamut from mellow romantic balladry."[5]
