''Colourmeinkindness'' received positive reviews upon release. [[AbsolutePunk]] reviewer Adam Pfleider wrote that the album featured "just as many references to indie, grunge and alternative shoegaze as there are allusions of radio's top 40 at its height in 1996."<ref name="Absolute Punk"/> Pfleider also wrote that the band managed to craft "a near perfect combination of grunge cult and top singles of the '90s."<ref name="Absolute Punk"/> In a short review for [[AllMusic]], Matt Collar wrote that the album "showcases Basement's passionate, sprawling, emo-influenced rock."<ref name="AllMusic"/> James Tremain of Alter the Press! wrote that the album owed "as much to mid-90s emo and grunge acts such as Nirvana" as it did to "modern day punk."<ref name="Alter the Press"/> He went on further to say that the band constructed an album that "knows both when to swing its punches and when to offer a shoulder to cry on," being "equal parts brute force and beauty."<ref name="Alter the Press"/>
Kill Your Stereo reviewer Maddo wrote that the one of the group's most appealing traits was the "honesty and sincerity in Fisher's lyrics."<ref name=KYSreview/> Maddo favourably compared Fisher's voice to that of [[Sunny Day Real Estate]] frontman [[Jeremy Enigk]].<ref name=KYSreview/> Punknews.org reviewer RENALDO69 called the album "incredible ... a near-flawless record".<ref name="Punknews.org"/> He praised Fisher's vocals, referring to them as "top-notch" and "remarkable".<ref name="Punknews.org"/>
