Love in Constant Spectacle received a score of 84 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on seven critics' reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[1] Mojo found that "Love in Constant Spectacle is watchful rather than showy, its songs not boxing up one simple mood at a time but sitting with their uncertainty. Nuance might be going out of fashion in the world outside, but in here, Weaver speaks it fluently".[5] Uncut's Piers Martin called it "by some distance her most satisfying album" as it is "full of surprises and tantalisingly familiar" and presents a "head-spinning account of grief and solace".[8] Fred Thomas of AllMusic described it as Weaver's "most emotionally based set of songs to date", stating that "her most remarkable material drawing from Krautrock-styled repetition, Stereolab's blithe pop, Broadcast's eerily captivating melodic flare, and Goldfrapp-esque synth grooves" and finding these to be present throughout the album.[2] Exclaim!'s Eric Hill remarked that the album's "focus is slightly more inward-facing, but Weaver still finds ways to create distance between intention and expression even when she herself is the topic".[3] Reviewing the album for PopMatters, Peter Thomas Webb wrote that it "retains many of the same textures, although the overall effect is a little gentler and more meditative than her previous album, Flock".[7] Janne Oinonen of The Line of Best Fit summarised that "the songs often straddle propulsive organic grooves that coalesce perfectly with Weaver's dreamy melodies and weightless vocals".[4] MusicOMH's John Murphy called Love in Constant Spectacle "beautifully intricate, thoughtful songs [that] sit amid a hypnotic, otherworldly vibe that never settles for playing safe".[6] Year-end lists
