''[[Trouser Press]]'' wrote that "'Little Rosa', the album's highlight, is '60s-influenced jangle-pop genius."<ref name="TP">{{cite web |title=Letters to Cleo |url=https://trouserpress.com/reviews/letters-to-cleo/ |website=Trouser Press |access-date=24 June 2022}}</ref>

''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' opined that "too often singer Kay Hanley sounds like a petulant Juliana Hatfield on their soapy, overdramatic love songs."<ref name="auto"/>
''[[The New York Times]]'' compared the album to its predecessor, calling it "the same alt-rock in a different package". It said that, while Hanley's "bright, clear delivery often lifts Letters to Cleo above college-band status, her happiness can become wearing".<ref>Sherr, Sara (August 25, 1995).
