It's soooooo manic. It's literally just, like, whatever the fuck I felt like making; there was no reason I couldn't make it".{{cite magazine |last1=Morris |first1=Alex |title=Halsey Is a Rebel at Peace: The Rolling Stone Cover Story |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/halsey-rebel-peace-cover-story-849084/ |magazine=Rolling Stone |access-date=16 September 2019}}

She revealed the tracklist on December 3, 2019, and went live on Instagram shortly after to discuss the album and answer fan questions. During the live, she stated that the album is very personal: she said "I feel like you guys have really given me the chance this year to express myself more and be myself in a way that I don't know if I’ve really felt like I have been able to since my first album". She also stated that fans would get to meet a part of her that she's been really excited to show. When asked what her favorite song is, she said that the most personal one is "More", and not being able to pick just one, she listed some of her favorites which include, "I Hate Everybody", "929", "Killing Boys", and "Dominic's Interlude".

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 80 out of 100, which indicates "generally favorable reviews" based on 18 reviews.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic said that the album "showcases Halsey at her nerviest and at her best." Ilana Kaplan from the Entertainment Weekly praised the album calling it "a chaotic amalgamation of self-analysis, rage, depression, ecstasy, and growth" that sees its creator "managing the messiness of fame while trying to stay true to herself." In a positive review from Exclaim!, Chantel Ouellet wrote that Manic is her most personal album to date. Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone gave the album a positive review and named Manic an "excellent new album", praising its versatility of genres and "Halsey's raw autobiographical portrait of [herself] as a young mess, craving her share of love and tenderness in a hostile world". In a four-star review for The Guardian, Ben Beaumont-Thomas praised Halsey's lyrical evolution, citing that "her lyrical confidence is matched by the characterful production, which straddles R&B, country, trashy pop-rock, Kacey Musgraves-ish cosmic Americana and more".

In a positive review for PopMatters, Jeffrey Davies referred to the album as a "refreshingly intimate portrait of a young woman navigating fame, femininity, and mental illness" and wrote: "From an artist whose style and image or lack thereof has tended to take precedence over her music and her psyche, Manic is an honest invitation into the worlds of both Halsey and Ashley Frangipane, and teaches us that the truth is in the ambiguity." Steven Loftin from The Line of Best Fit stated that Manic "revels in the explorative genre-pop bombast, letting the delicates twinkle, and the snarls bare their teeth; yet it's the soul that shines dominantly." He also named it her most complete work to date.

In June and July 2020, the album was included on Billboard,{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/list/9393973/best-albums-of-2020-so-far|title=The 50 Best Albums of 2020 (So Far)|author=Billboard Staff|magazine=Billboard|date=9 June 2020|access-date=9 June 2020}} American Songwriter,{{cite web|url=https://americansongwriter.com/the-best-albums-of-2020/|title=The Best Albums Of 2020, So Far|website=American Songwriter|date=2 July 2020|access-date=3 July 2020}} and Uproxx's lists of the best albums of 2020 so far.{{cite web|url=https://uproxx.com/music/best-albums-2020-so-far-ranked/|title=The Best Albums Of 2020 So Far|website=Consequence of Sound|date=22 June 2020|access-date=22 June 2020}}
