Critical reception
Shepherd Head was met with "generally favorable" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 76, based on 4 reviews.[2]
Pat King of Paste wrote: "The tranquil and atmospheric flow of the album is a perfect canvas for Rossiter, who tends to bellow more than sing. His rich and emotive voice can sound at times like that of a much more timid Jeff Buckley."[4] At Sputnikmusic, the album was described as a "solid release" and a "different kind of Young Jesus record".[6]
