Critical response

Upon its release, Glow was met with positive-to-mixed reviews from music critics. Jim Carroll of The Irish Times gave the album three out of five stars, commenting that "finely tuned pop sensibilities and a winning fondness for irresistable [sic] hooks are also part of [Tensnake's] make-up". Metro's Arwa Haider also gave the album three stars, praising "First Song" for being "luscious" and describing frequent collaborator Fiora as "vivacious" and "a regular highlight". However, Haider criticised the album's mixture of genres, saying "Glow doesn’t always flow, however, and Tensnake seems to tussle with exactly what kind of album he wants this to be".
