Marcy Donelson of AllMusic noted, "Full of memorably wistful melodies as well as potentially relatable struggles, Hers feels like an instant classic, if one that's also outside of time."[1] Daisy Carter of DIY Mag gave the album four stars and remarked, "And so, for sixth studio LP Hers, his conundrum was not one of execution, but evolution."[2]
The Line of Best Fit assigned it a rating of eight out of ten, referring to the album as Maltese's "most ambitious, artful and affecting record to date,"[6] while Clash described it as "a beautiful glimpse of his creative essence," also giving it the same score.[5]
