Critical reception
Upon its release, many reviewers commented on the length of time it had taken for this album to arrive, five years since the band first came to prominence, and three since the release of Forward March!, their previous mini-album.
[Sic] Magazine said "Their music is joyful and optimistic, blending folk-driven indie rock with the choral stomp of post-orchestral", comparing them to British Sea Power, I Like Trains and Efterklang.
Dom Gourlay's review in Drowned in Sound said that "the ten pieces that make up Drown Your Heart Again represent a composed transition for a band unfairly forgotten in an ever-changing cyclical musical landscape", rating it 7/10.
