Joe Goggins from DIY said the album is the "best Swearin' record yet; that Allison and Kyle have not just reformed the band, but actually brought the creative best out of each other in doing so, is a powerful advert for reconciliation". Ian Gormely from Exclaim! mentioned "its sound is more robust, the songs more thoughtful and frankly, more mature," while impressed that it is "their best album to date, Fall Into the Sun is the sound of a band rebuilding itself one song at a time and becoming that much stronger in the process.
