According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Believe You Me received "generally favorable reviews" based on a weighted average score of 75 out of 100 from 10 critic scores.[3]
Mike Diver of BBC commented that "Negro's psychedelic leanings are balanced by Barwick's more spectral, somewhat sacred stylings, the results never feeling forced."[13] Philip Majorins of PopMatters stated, "A rich wall of ambience is invoked and sustained over the course of ten tracks that last just over 35 minutes."[12] K. Ross Hoffman of AllMusic called the album "loose, exploratory, warmly generous and open-minded, eager to share and learn, but still with a slight sense of polite restraint."[7] Adam Kivel of Consequence stated, "Dream pop may be a genre du jour, but few produce material quite so dreamy as Believe You Me."[8]
