Samantha Allemann for ArtsHub Australia, rated A Fool Who'll as five-out-of-five stars and explained, "[it] succeeds in putting together nine songs which are interestingly diverse, yet all equally strong. There's no filler, and that is something quite rare indeed. Laura Jean's gorgeous voice and strong range is well matched by her band and their new electric approach, resulting in an album that's both dynamic and sweet."[3]
The Sydney Morning Herald's Bernard Zuel noticed that Jean, "does not fear intimacy", as the album is, "dominated by the mix of emotion that comes with falling in love." She shows, "The thrill of love is definitely there... but so is its travelling partner in any love affair: the fear of losing that love."[2]
Melbourne's radio station 3RRR's staff listed it as their Album of the Week on 29 August 2011, with the summary, "[it] offers the understated but captivating style of previous recordings, and imbues its songs with elements of disquiet, and dissonance... [it] reflects an evolution in [her] sound and approach. Incorporating new sounds."[4]
