Album of the Year sums up critical consensus as a 78 out of 100, based on two reviews.[4] Writing for Paste, Eric R. Danton gave the album a 7.5 out of 10, noting her powerful voice and "brutally candid songs".[5] Ethan Gordon of No Ripcord gave Daughter eight out of 10, praising her for musical experimentation but noting that the album's "strength comes when Loveless writes disarmingly mid-tempo songs" and in particular, "stirring and warm instrumentation with sad and/or rough lyrics paired side by side".[6] Associated Press' Pablo Gorondi gave a favorable review for the album incorporating classic sounds from Loveless' previous work as well as new instrumentation and a focus on introspective lyrics.[7] Paste included this in their five best rock albums of September 2020, with reviewer Eric R. Danton praising it for "brutally candid" songwriting and Loveless' "massive, powerful voice".[8]
