AllMusic[2]

AllMusic's Heather Phares gave the album an score of three out of five stars, highlighting the singles "Break My Heart", "Guys My Age" as well as the songs previously included in their EP Brand New Moves (its title track and "Fuqboi") and saying: "While Hey Violet sometimes seem to have more personality than their material on From the Outside, they handle the album's many stylistic shifts without giving listeners too much sonic whiplash."[2]
