The album received largely positive reviews.
The Soundboard Reviews in a positive review said: "Crown Shyness is a genuinely great album, not only seeing Trash Boat settle on an identity that works for them, but also moving away from pop-punk almost entirely, now dialing up the hardcore influences that’s seen them get the most praise, as well as Wonder Years-esque alt-rock that makes this melancholy-drenched sound so much more secure in its intent."{{Cite web|url=https://thesoundboardreviews.com/2018/07/06/album-review-crown-shyness-by-trash-boat/comment-page-1/|title = ALBUM REVIEW: 'Crown Shyness' by Trash Boat|date = 6 July 2018}}
In an 5/5 review from New Noise Magazine, Nathaniel Lay said: Trash Boat have a grittier, hardcore-influenced style of punk rock that combines the best elements of Polar Bear Club, Rise Against, and even Thrice. Their sophomore full-length with Hopeless, Crown Shyness, is a ten-track experience of pure bliss, perfectly blending melody and rage into one hard-hitting and memorable disc."{{Cite web|url=https://newnoisemagazine.com/review-trash-boat-crown-shyness/|title = Album Review: Trash Boat - Crown Shyness|date = 22 August 2018}}
