At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Remind Me Tomorrow has received an average score of 86, based on 34 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[4] At Pitchfork, Laura Snapes mentions how Van Etten "conjures tempests and explores their subsequent calms", remarking how it is "the peak of her songwriting and her most atmospheric, emotionally piercing album to date."[12] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic rated the album four-and-a-half stars out of five, indicating that Van Etten "plumbs the depths of contentedness, setting her satisfaction to a sound that's nominally dark yet strangely comforting and nourishing."[5] Rolling Stone considered Remind Me Tomorrow as her finest album for including styles ranging from "expansive electro groove" to "trip-hop rumination" and singer "Siouxsie [Sioux]-style wails".[15]
