Listing the album as one of the best shoegaze albums of all time, Far Out stated In Solarium "beautifully encapsulates a touch of the retro feel".[3] Trouser Press considered the album "wonderful" and a maturation of the band's sound from previous albums "with no loss of energy".[4] Brainwashed compared the band's music as "strikingly similar" to the work of My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive, finding the songs covered in a "mesmerizing fuzz" of distortion, although found the songs so similar that they were "slightly cumbersome to wade through".[5] Comes with a Smile considered the songs "bittersweet and heartfelt", finding them nostalgically reminiscent of The Wedding Present, Slowdive, Lush and Superchunk, praising the songs as "three-minute rapid blasts of alternative-pop" filled with "incessantly dreamy melodies.[6]
