Critical reception

Love Letters has received mostly positive reviews from music critics. According to critic review aggregator Metacritic, the album has received a score of 73/100, based on 21 reviews, indicating "generally favorable". Heather Phares of AllMusic.com writes that "Musically and emotionally, Love Letters is rawer than what came before it, trading breezy synth pop for insistent psych-rock and soul influences. Confessional and insular, Love Letters is the work of a band willing to take pop success on their own terms and reveal a different -- but just as appealing -- side of their artistry in the process".

Charts

In its first week of release, Love Letters charted at number 7 on the UK Albums Chart, Metronomy's highest position to date.
