At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 78, based on 16 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". In a three-star review, Rachel Aroesti of The Guardian said that Beatopia{{'}}s "crowd-pleasing combination of poppy euphoria, laidback cool and often rather generic lyrics tends not to leave a lasting impression of much beyond stylishly executed nostalgia".{{cite web |last1=Aroesti |first1=Rachel |date=15 July 2022 |title=Beabadoobee: Beatopia review – stylish but unmemorable pop nostalgia |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/jul/15/beabadoobee-beatopia-review |website=The Guardian |access-date=19 July 2022}} Arielle Gordon of Pitchfork criticised the lyrical content of the album as being "often more form than function",{{cite web |last1=Gordon |first1=Arielle |date=18 July 2022 |title=Beatopia |url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/beabadoobee-beatopia/ |website=Pitchfork |access-date=19 July 2022}} though in a mixed review for PopMatters Jay Honeycomb noted that the lyrics deal with the challenges of human intimacy.{{cite web|url=https://www.popmatters.com/baebadoobee-beatopia-album-review|title=Beabadoobee's Ascent From Indie Starlet To Pop Queen on 'Beatopia' Is Hot and Cold|date=21 July 2022|first=Jay|last=Honeycomb|website= PopMatters|access-date=21 July 2022}} In a more positive review, Kerrang! characterised Beatopia as a progression from Beabadoobee's debut album with "more diversity, more complexity and less care paid to the genres it falls within", marking an artistic evolution.{{cite web |last=Wilkes |first=Emma |date=15 July 2022 |title=Album review: beabadoobee – Beatopia |url=https://www.kerrang.com/album-review-beabadoobee-beatopia |website=Kerrang! |access-date=19 July 2022}} Similarly, Hollie Geraghty writing for NME sees "the seeds that were planted in Fake It Flowers not only blossom, but inhabit an entirely different world" with Beatopia.{{cite web |last1=Geraghty |first1=Hollie |date=14 July 2022 |title=Beabadoobee – 'Beatopia' review: a weightless journey through a dreamlike world |url=https://www.nme.com/reviews/album/beabadoobee-beatopia-review-3269114 |website=NME |access-date=19 July 2022}} In a mixed review for The Telegraph, Kate French-Morris wrote, "Kristi's music may sound fresh to the ears of those born this side of the millennium, but it's rehashed, scrubbed-up, 1990s alt-rock to everyone else, so well-cribbed she sounds like a fictional artist dreamed up to soundtrack a teen movie."{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/artists/lizzo-strikes-pop-gold-mabel-has-big-night-weeks-best-albums/|first=Kate|last=French Morris|date=15 July 2022|website= The Telegraph|title=Lizzo strikes pop gold, and Mabel has a big night out – the week's best albums|access-date=21 July 2022}} Writing for The Line of Best Fit, John Amen scored the project 8/10 and commented, "If Fake Flowers featured Laus toeing the indie line, at times self-deprecatingly, Beatopia is her unapologetic leap into mega viability."{{Cite web |title=Beabadoobee hones and expands her aesthetic with Beatopia |url=https://www.thelineofbestfit.com/reviews/albums/beabadoobee-beatopia-album-review |access-date=2022-07-28 |website=The Line of Best Fit |language=en}}
