Critical reception
The Morning Call called the album "full of clever, hook-laden and emotional tunes."[4] Spin, in an article about undeservedly obscure bands, wrote that This Conversation Is Ending Starting Right Now is "a minor classic of twentysomething despair."[6] The A.V. Club thought that the album lacked the "desperate declarations" of Day Three of My New Life.[7]
