The Age's Anthony Carew approved of Sly Hats' Liquorice Night as "a charmed collection of odd pop songs played softly" with O'Connor's "tentative, breathy singing makes his songs sound like secrets. And, in a strange touch, they're often set to calypso rhythms". O'Connor produced Vanity Is Forever, which Triple J's Zan Rowe described as "a distinct step away from the indie-pop of his band. The record is full of synthesisers, and modern soft rock sounds and is written from the perspective of a guy who has both a heavy heart and a high libido". At the time of release, Geoffrey toured the US on a sold-out support tour with Jens Lekman.

Geoffrey's third solo album Fan Fiction was released in August 2014 through Chapter Music. Pitchfork's Jake Cleland gave it a score of 7.4, describing it as an album in which "every dazzling melody is sandwiched together, maximalist and swollen in a dizzying spectacle".
