The album marks a significant departure from their metalcore/pop punk roots, with only a few songs falling within those genres as the album as a whole features more of a pop/pop rock sound. In an interview with NME, the band's vocalist Jeremy McKinnon went in-depth with the album's sound, describing it as a "happier" record.{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/a-day-to-remember-on-new-album-youre-welcome-we-didnt-make-you-wait-for-no-fucking-reason-2659158|title=A Day To Remember on new album 'You're Welcome': "We didn't make you wait for no fucking reason"|website=NME|date=4 May 2020 |access-date=November 21, 2020}}

In another interview with Kerrang!, McKinnon states that he wanted to take the "A Day to Remember sound" and "take on modern influences" with it. He also says that his love for the freedom and collaborative writing process found in EDM and rap resulted in the band getting together and throwing around ideas which resulted in the band demoing 42 songs. It got to the point to where some of the songs they wrote went from indie rock, to punk rock, to even "full tilt heavy". He would also talk about fan expectations and made it a goal to not stray too far from the band's core sound, with some songs ultimately being left out due to them wanting to push their sound in a way that "makes sense".{{cite web|url=https://www.kerrang.com/features/why-a-day-to-remembers-new-album-youre-welcome-is-their-most-creative-yet/|title=Why A Day To Remember's New Album Is Their Most Creative Yet|website=Kerrang!|date=13 September 2019 |access-date=November 21, 2020}}

NME called the album a "mish-mash of sounds and moany lyrics," and also stated that "there are more misses than hits here, as A Day To Remember struggle to work out who their band should be in 2021." Wall of Sound rated You're Welcome 5.5/10, feeling that the band changed their style simultaneously too drastically and quickly and likening it to Thirty Seconds to Mars' stylistic changes between A Beautiful Lie (2005) and This Is War (2009). He summarized that You're Welcome "..had so much potential for [the band] to deliver new sounds and styles that’d unite fans together. Unfortunately, it comes across like a forced, rush job..." Sam Law echoed these sentiments throughout his review for Kerrang!, remarking that the album was "slick but insubstantial".

In a more positive review, Riff Magazine{{'}}s Mike DeWald praised the album for its maturity and adaptability to many different styles, concluding that "those looking for only heavy guitar riffs and screaming aggression may want to look elsewhere, but those willing to take a musical journey will be rewarded."
