Critical reception

Headsparks was positively received by critics. Ned Raggett of AllMusic awarded the album a rating of four out of five stars and praised Sooyoung Park's singing and guitar playing, saying that the record features "a blend that's at once powerful, heartfelt, and anthemic almost in spite of itself." He considered "Sky City" and "Feather" to be the album's highlights. Victoria Wheeler of Spin also enjoyed the album, commenting that Seam "gets slow but not lethargic, sensitive but not whiny, persistent but not naging, confused but far from lost. Plus, the band pulls clever punches like pasting all that static-y haze over smartly tart, twangy, almost banjoish guitar."
