Critical reception
You Belong Here garnered positive reception from four music critics ratings and reviews. At Knoxville News Sentinel, Chuck Campbell rated the album four out of five stars, stating that the release "is even better for listeners as the band concocts imaginative tracks by drawing on its decidedly diverse talent yet possibly indecisive direction." Carter Fraser of Indie Vision Music rated the album four out of five stars, writing that "Leagues give this winter some summer flair with You Belong Here", which "Perhaps they'll strike you as relaxing; perhaps they'll make you want to dance", but "Either way, they have some undeniably entertaining charm." At Iowa State Daily, Emily Belloma rated the album three-and-a-half stars out of five, saying that the release is "quirky and fun", yet at the same time it "may make you want to dance, or you could find it incredibly relaxing. Either way, it is entertaining and is definitely worth checking out." Joe Cirilo of The Aquarian Weekly gave a positive review of the album, remarking how "You Belong Here, is one built on great highs, tastefully executed lows, and all around, leaves little to be desired", however "On the whole, the indie pop group did an immaculate job putting their record together" because it is "bold, fun, and leaves the fans on the hook, hungry for more."
