Critical reception
At Rolling Stone, Ned Raggett rated the album three-and-a-half stars, stating that "In Conflict is a pop treasure that's also a stirring, personal work of art." Sasha Geffen of Consequence of Sound graded the album an A-, writing that "In Conflict is ominous, gloomy, and marked with some of the most playful arrangements Pallett’s laid to date." James Christopher Monger of AllMusic rated the album four-and-a-half stars, writing that the music contains a mixture of the "sugary opulence" reminiscent of Kishi Bashi and Jónsi and the "chilly refinement" akin to Björk circa 1997's Homogenic time period.
The album was a shortlisted nominee for the 2014 Polaris Music Prize.
