The Skinny's Joe Creely notes that Come Around sees dal Forno "hone in even further" on her two previous solo albums' "80s DIY synth-pop and post-punk" sound, with a "trademark dreamy haze" which "is certainly there in spades." The album "feels slighter" than its predecessor Look Up Sharp and "doesn't have the tonal or the sonic variety of that previous record" aside from the more uptempo "Mind You're On", instead seeing dal Forno's sound-world polished to perfection.[10] Narc's Robin Webb says dal Forno's "familiar austere sound reverberates in acres of space often anchored by a rhythmically intimate synth or guitar reminiscent of the Young Marble Giants or Julee Cruise". The title track "plays to an empty auditorium audience of one, inviting you to come closer but only if you dare to", and while the album feels cold, "if you accept her invitation, immerse yourself in the swathes of gossamer washes, you'll find yourself 'no longer tethered to the world outside.'"[9] Flood's Kyle Lemmon calls Come Around "a waxing and waning album that fits [dal Forno's] moonlit style" and "her best effort yet."[11]
