Three Dimensions Deep received generally positive reviews from music critics, receiving a 76 out of 100 on the review aggregate website Metacritic based on 7 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". NPR Music described the album as Mark's attempt to work through "feelings of uncertainty" and experiences with loss.{{cite web |last1=Fitzgerald |first1=Kiana |title=Amber Mark's 'Three Dimensions Deep' turns grief into undeniable beauty |url=https://www.npr.org/2022/01/28/1075197305/amber-marks-three-dimensions-deep-turns-grief-into-undeniable-beauty |website=NPR Music |access-date=3 October 2022 |language=en |date=28 January 2022}} Pitchfork noted that "[m]oving smoothly between R&B, funk, and pop, the fully realized album foregrounds Mark’s vocals and songwriting" while bringing in sci-fi themes and "celestial metaphors". Rolling Stone was more mixed in its review, saying that the album was "short-circuited by hamfisted writing, especially as the album’s space theme gets less playful and more literal."
