Jason Lymangrover of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying, "As well as being larger, the aspect that separates Get Color from the band's debut of fractured near-instrumentals is that the tracks on board actually feel like fully realized songs, rather than sketched ideas."^[6] Joe Colly of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.4 out of 10, commenting that "if HEALTH can continue to find some deeper meaning behind their very impressive musicianship, they might be onto something great."^[11]
