Critical reception
Tayyab Amin of The Guardian stated, "Between Rousay's drones and disruptions, melodics and arguments, the album becomes a place for feeling in the present, untethered by time, as familiar as a memory and as placeless as a dream." Stephen Worthy of Mojo wrote, "Everything Perfect Is Already Here avoids emotional overload, instead offering solace and a loving embrace, a haven of calm and normality." Sam Richards of Uncut described the album as "the sound of everyday thoughts and routines magnified into an engrossing deep listen."
