The album was met with mixed critical response, with ''[[Allmusic]]'' rating it as four stars out of five and ''[[British Broadcasting Corporation|BBC Internet Music Reviews]]'' describing it as "one of the finest releases of the year so far. If you were one of those people who wrote them off two years ago, it's time to get listening again."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/df3n/ |title=Gomez Split The Difference Review |author=Jones, Chris |accessdate=2024-06-14}}</ref> However, the album received less than favourable reviews from a number of other sources, including ''[[Pitchfork Media]]'' and ''[[NME]]''.
