editor Matt Collar noted that "while the album's underpinnings do bring to mind Stranger Thingss John Carpenter-style keyboard soundtrack aesthetic, much of Stranger Songs also finds Michaelson leaning more heavily into the show's more conceptual themes of romantic teenage longing and the desire for love and acceptance Ultimately, as the Stranger Things kids draw strength from each other to face whatever monsters may emerge from the dark, on Stranger Songs, Michaelson offers her own words of hope for gentle freaks in an upside-down world."Charts
