Longest Year met with positive critical reception. Heather Phares of Allmusic noted that "Longest Year marks a distinct departure from Chasing After Shadows... Living with the Ghosts more structured, percussive tracks; these reveries float and glide all the more majestically for their almost complete lack of beats... The Longest Year's beauty is undeniable."[2] Ryan Burleson, writing for Consequence of Sound, noted that the album "transmits more hope and transcendence than any amount of darkness gleaned from the title."[3]
