AllMusic wrote that In Amber, "pivoted away from upbeat, dance-oriented tracks into a more reflective style. Featuring Anohni for the first time since 2008, the record channeled emotions such as anger, fear, and sadness while retaining the pristine production that Butler has cultivated throughout his career".

In Amber received critical acclaim. It was named "Album of the Year 2022" by The Arts Desk, and Slant Magazine included "One" in "The 50 Best Songs of 2022" list.
