Aftonbladet3/5[1]

Reviewing the album for Aftonbladet, Markus Larsson wrote that there is a "warm and melancholy late summer feeling over the music" and found "Allt det vackra" and "Det stora röda huset" to be "among the best [songs] that Ingrosso has done so far". Although feeling that the album as a whole is "uneven", Larsson considered Ingrosso to be further laying "the foundation for a broad and varied career".[1] Scandipop called En gång i tiden (del 2) "an essential album to take in, enjoy, and keep returning to in its entirety."[6]
