Paul Brannigan, writing for Louder, assigned the album a rating of four stars and described it as "magnificent, special" and "a wonderfully abrasive, confrontational and cathartic record".^[9]

You Heartbreaker, You received a rating of four out of five from Dork, whose reviewer Felicity Newton described it as "uncompromising and allergic to anything resembling warmth" and "a record that feels like it belongs to people who smoke indoors, drink only black coffee and consider eye contact a form of violence."^[7] Emma Wilkers of Kerrang! rated the release four out of five, stating that "It's primal in multiple dimensions – confrontational, sexual, alight with a revolutionary spark – all made possible by an approach that feels proudly organic, unvarnished, even."^[8]

The album was given a rating of seven by English magazine the Line of Best Fit, which remarked, "Some lyrics dip into abstraction while others cut like shards, but the common thread attempts to be honest," stating it "stylistically cherry picks at genres."^[3] Margot MacLeod of Clash referred to the album as a "release to listen to," opining that "Despite the industrial and slick sound, the purity in Beth's voice outshines the sheen that drapes over the album," and rating it seven.^[6]
