===Critical response===
The album received generally positive reviews,<ref>{{cite journal |journal=Outlook |date=2002 |volume=42 |issue=11 |publisher=Hathway Investments Pvt Limited |title=This album has been well- received by critics because Incubus has managed to inject sense and melodic substance into its fuzzy alternative funk - metal repertoire}}</ref> with a [[Metacritic]] score of 62, based on 10 reviews.<ref name="metacritic.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.metacritic.com/music/morning-view/incubus |title=Reviews for ''Morning View'' by Incubus |publisher=[[Metacritic]] |access-date=August 22, 2012 |archive-date=October 17, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121017170017/http://www.metacritic.com/music/morning-view/incubus |url-status=live }}</ref> ''[[Q (magazine)|Q]]'' stated that "even at their most acerbic or delicately downplayed extremes, Incubus are compelling",<ref name="q"/> while CDNow noted that Incubus "has begun to grow up a bit".<ref name="metacritic.com"/>

''[[Rolling Stone]]'' wrote in their November 2001 review, "for a [[nu metal|new-metal]] band competing in a field of [[Alpha and beta male|alpha males]] with pierced, sloping brows, the supple, even delicate Incubus have an awful lot of yin in their yang. Unlike [[Staind]], who require a suspension of disbelief that they are, essentially, macho crybabies, and [[Crazy Town]], who probably tinge their mook-hop with Orientalism so they can score with Asian strippers, the coolest thing about Incubus is the way they come front-and-center with their inner little girl. They’ve got the tender lyrics, the nonlinear arrangements, melodies you can soak in and neckbreaker riffs alternating with swaying metallic grooves that somehow say, 'Love me, OK?'."<ref name="rs"/> ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' gave the album a B in October 2001, and wrote, "lead singer/heartthrob Brandon Boyd, with his wavy locks and herbal-life philosophy, is the anti-[[Fred Durst]]", further adding that "Incubus’ nontraditional drift continues on ''Morning View'', a third album that, with its sonic kitchen-sink approach to record making, feels more like a typical band’s experimental sixth album."<ref name="EW"/>

Sean Adams of ''[[Drowned in Sound]]'' awarded it a 9 out of 10 on November 21, 2001, writing, "the really special bit, is the typical heart-throb frontman, Brandon Boyd. He's got it made. His vocals are something special."<ref name="dro"/> Adams further writes, "lyrically there is that little extra you don’t and won't get from many, if any, of their peers. It may sound like self-empowered, dope smoking, hippy rubbish to some, but it's gotta be better for the kidz than some homophobic diatribes, surely?."<ref name="dro">{{Cite web|url=http://drownedinsound.com/releases/2788/reviews/2608-|title=Album Review: Incubus - Morning View|website=DrownedInSound|access-date=June 17, 2022|archive-date=June 20, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210620073500/https://drownedinsound.com/releases/2788/reviews/2608-|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[AllMusic]]'s Deren Svendsen awarded it a similarly high score of four-and-a-half out of five stars, noting, "the ratio of softer and mellower numbers have increased dramatically, to the point where hardcore fans of earlier material may be bewildered. For the most part, the transition works."<ref name="amg"/> He adds, "while it may not appeal to fans of the harder material, music lovers who like their rock a little less aggressive and a little more ambitious and, well, sensitive should give ''Morning View'' a spin."<ref name="amg"/>  Dylan P. Gadino of ''[[CMJ|CMJ New Music Monthly]]'' compared the album to [[Faith No More]] and [[Linkin Park]] in November 2001, still considering it to have the same metallic undertone of previous releases. He writes, "on ''Morning View'', the group's third major label album, Boyd and company continue their journey into the metal mystic, guided by familiar cascading chord progressions and ethereal-to-plump dynamic sensibilities. There are aggressive rockers like 'Under My Umbrella' here, but lush yet-harsh metal tunes like 'Blood on the Ground' are more indicative of the album's sound."<ref name="cmj">{{cite web | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OCoEAAAAMBAJ&dq=cmj+%22incubus%22+%22science%22+%221997%22&pg=PA78 | title=CMJ New Music Monthly | access-date=June 7, 2022 | archive-date=June 17, 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220617165615/https://books.google.com/books?id=OCoEAAAAMBAJ&dq=cmj+%22incubus%22+%22science%22+%221997%22&pg=PA78 | url-status=live }}</ref> However, he did note a higher number of acoustic songs, observing that, "''Morning View'' shows a softer Incubus, yet it also affirms the group as being visionary among today's hard rockers."<ref name="cmj"/>

''[[Daily Nexus]]'' writer Jessica Jardine had a more negative view of the band's new direction, remarking in November 2001, "the release of the mushy-gushy single 'Wish You Were Here' became an ominous harbinger of the kinder, fuzzier Incubus to come. Without skipping a beat, that’s just what ''Morning View'' delivers – into the waiting palms of pre-teen girls everywhere", adding that "the semi-charged 'Have You Ever' and 'Under My Umbrella' remind me of ''[[S.C.I.E.N.C.E.]]'' but lack the diaphragm-thrusting belts and off-beat experimentalism that once wooed me."<ref name="nex">{{Cite web|url=https://dailynexus.com/2001-11-07/incubus-morning-view-epic/|title=Incubus &#124; Morning View &#124; Epic &#124; The Daily Nexus|date=November 7, 2001|access-date=June 7, 2022|archive-date=June 28, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220628013929/https://dailynexus.com/2001-11-07/incubus-morning-view-epic/|url-status=live}}</ref> She concluded her review by stating, "yes, Brandon, you are a towering heartthrob amid booty-obsessed playa-pimps, but do we really need this saccharin-coated love goo?."<ref name="nex"/> ''[[NME]]'' had a similarly negative review in October 2001, writing, "''Morning View'''s insurmountable flaw is that Incubus sell themselves as an intelligent and sensitive rock band, without actually appearing especially intelligent or sensitive. They're hippies, basically."<ref name="nme"/> Mikael Wood of the ''[[Dallas Observer]]'' wrote that ''Morning View'' is "an unapologetically flowery record", adding that it "wraps the angular, hard-edged [[funk metal|funk-metal]] the band made in the early '90s in a silvery wash of acoustic-guitar strumming, vaguely Eastern ambience, SoCal surfer beatitude and [[Lilith Fair]]-friendly sensitive-male empathy."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dallasobserver.com/music/incubus-6389955|title=Incubus|first=Mikael|last=Wood|website=Dallas Observer}}</ref>

===Legacy and accolades===
On March 1, 2003, Einziger, along with [[Scott Litt]], Dave Holdredge, and Rick Will, were nominated for a [[Grammy]] in the [[Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical|"Best Engineered Album (Non Classical)"]] category, for their work on ''Morning View.''<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Complete-list-of-Grammy-nominees-ceremony-set-2687689.php|title=Complete list of Grammy nominees; ceremony set for Feb. 23|date=January 8, 2003|access-date=29 August 2016|archive-date=December 7, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121207011605/http://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Complete-list-of-Grammy-nominees-ceremony-set-2687689.php|url-status=live}}</ref>

The 2003 book ''The Rough Guide to Rock'' reflected that it was the band's "most fully realized take on their artistic vision", and that "the rock bits rock hard and the relaxed bits are quite gorgeous."<ref>{{cite book |title=The Rough Guide to Rock |date=2003 |publisher=London: Rough Guides |page=487 |access-date=}}</ref> [[Jim DeRogatis]] included it as an example of a modern [[psychedelic rock]] album in his 2003 book ''Turn on Your Mind: Four Decades of Great Psychedelic Rock'', writing that Incubus took their sound "to a new level with this effort, shedding its earlier [[Primus (band)|Primus]] and [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]] obsessions and merging hard rock, ethnic percussion, DJ scratching, string sections, analog synthesizers and a dramatic use of dynamics."<ref>{{cite book |last1=DeRogatis |first1=Jim |title=Turn on Your Mind: Four Decades of Great Psychedelic Rock |date=2003 |publisher=Hal Leonard |pages=558 |isbn=9780634055485 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=U7cQmRsLgN8C&dq=incubus+morning+view&pg=PA558 |access-date=26 September 2023}}</ref>
In April 2002, Incubus were placed 29th on ''Spin'''s "Top 40 (Only Bands that Matter)" list, with the publication reflecting that, "over the past 11 years Incubus seamlessly evolved from funk metal dreadheads into a spiritual [[Sugar Ray]] that rocks." They add, "the California-dreamy riffs and gentle beats of 2001's ''Morning View'' gave modern rock radio an even fresher kick. Plus, lead singer Brandon Boyd's perennially exposed abs (the group's unofficial sixth member) inspired hordes of 12-year-old girls to discover what 'Aqueous Transmission' means."<ref name="spin02">'''Spin'' Magazine, April 2002.</ref>

In 2005, ''Morning View'' was ranked number 374 in ''[[Rock Hard (magazine)|Rock Hard]]'' magazine's book ''The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time''.<ref>{{cite book|title=Best of Rock & Metal - Die 500 stärksten Scheiben aller Zeiten|year=2005|publisher=[[Rock Hard (magazine)|Rock Hard]]|language=de|isbn=3-89880-517-4|page=59}}</ref> In 2021, ''[[Kerrang!]]'' ranked it as the 17th best album of 2001, remarking "as really, really, ridiculously good-looking as they were, Brandon Boyd and his [[Calabasas, California|Calabasas]] compatriots were more than just pretty faces."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.kerrang.com/the-50-best-albums-from-2001/|title=The 50 best albums from 2001|website=Kerrang!|date=July 2021 |access-date=June 17, 2022|archive-date=June 17, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220617172324/https://www.kerrang.com/the-50-best-albums-from-2001|url-status=live}}</ref> The publication placed ''Morning View'' first when ranking Incubus's studio albums in 2020.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.kerrang.com/incubus-every-album-ranked-from-worst-to-best/|title=Incubus: Every album ranked from worst to best|website=Kerrang!|date=May 5, 2020 |access-date=June 17, 2022|archive-date=June 3, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220603184939/https://www.kerrang.com/incubus-every-album-ranked-from-worst-to-best|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2023, ''[[Alternative Press (magazine)|Alternative Press]]'' also placed it first in their ranking of the band's discography,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.altpress.com/incubus-albums-ranked/|title=Every Incubus album ranked: From worst to best|first=Miki|last=Hellerbach|website=[[Alternative Press (magazine)|Alternative Press]] |date=April 10, 2023}}</ref> as did Brandon Boyd in a 2022 ''[[Louder Sound]]'' article.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.loudersound.com/features/every-incubus-album-ranked-from-worst-to-best-by-vocalist-brandon-boyd|title=Every Incubus album ranked from worst to best, by vocalist Brandon Boyd|author1=Stephen Hill|date=October 25, 2022|website=louder}}</ref>
