Allmusic gave Your Heart Is a Glorious Machine 3.5/5 stars and a positive review, praising the diverse combinations of genres.[1] Wrote No Depression about the release, the songwriting was "whimsical and honest," while their musicianship was of the "highest quality. Their voices, separately and together, are extraordinary, and lovely."[2]
Wrote SPPS, the album has "loads of texture and detail to get lost in, whether it’s the ethereal washes, the cricket samples on closing track 'The Sound Asleep,' the interplay between twinkles and bassy growls and tom drums, the interlaced vocals, the fiddle that will sneak in the back door, or the Hammond B-3 that will shatter the windows, like on the killer cover of Concrete Blonde’s 'Joey.'"[4]
