Jon O'Brien from AllMusic said "Eschewing the idea that the breakup album always has to be a tortured affair, Brisbane vocalist/guitarist Pete Murray's album, Blue Sky Blue, recorded after the split with his wife of three years, is a surprisingly buoyant and harmonious effort that opts for reason rather than regret or revenge" calling the album one that "...should further Murray's reputation as one of Australia's most charming singer/songwriters."
