Halo received a score of 68 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on four critics' reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception.[4] Dork's Rebecca Kesteven called it "ambient, down-to-earth, and introspective" as well as "a reflective album that radiates a comforting warmth; and Bakar's songwriting talent speaks for itself".[5] Amelie Grice of Clash found that "Bakar has perfected a gorgeous blend of rap, pop, R&B and synth electronics" on the album that she called "mostly upbeat [...] but it paces itself by taking breaks with more reflective tracks".[1] Joshua Mills of The Line of Best Fit described it as "a much more concentrated effort with a keen ear for structure, energy waxing and waning in all the right places" than Nobody's Home (2022).[6]
