Late Night Feelings received generally positive reviews upon release. On Metacritic, the album has an average rating of 75/100, which indicates generally positive reviews.
In a positive review, Yasmin Cowan of Clash said that the album, "might be a collection of "sad bangers" but this is a powerful - and empowering - project." Though noting some flaws, Hannah Mylrea of NME called the album "bold, brilliant and genuinely interesting pop music."
