Critical reception

The A.V. Club wrote that "everything The Sea and Cake touches turns to sweet, surprising, deadpan pop magic."[8] The Washington Post called the songs "relatively pithy," writing that the band "doesn't try to overwhelm, but it underwhelms quite agreeably."[9] CMJ New Music Monthly wrote that "fans of the earlier records will find The Fawn surprisingly dense-sounding, with its base layer of drum and keyboard filling the rests where silence used to be."[10]
