In a retrospective review, AllMusic's Greg Prato felt that on Yes Morphine had moved away from the more "accessible direction" they had introduced on 1994's Cure for Pain for a more "challenging (but just as rewarding) direction." He found Yes to be "just a shade less spectacular than Cure for Pain, but certainly not by much."
