The album was well received, scoring a 4/5 stars from Allmusic, who called it "a masterpiece of lo-fi beauty." They praised the production by Phil Elvrum, and stated the album is "a true indie pop triumph. From beginning to end, You Think It's Like This But Really It's Like This hovers majestically on a cloud of songcrafting genius and, as the title suggests, is constantly in a state of shapeshifting. Tones change from elegant to pensive to heavy but still manage to drift by graciously with the help of Mirah's wistful voice and intimately personal lyrics."[1]
