Ryan Middleton from ''Magnetic Mag'' said "Sonically, there are some similarities with ''Solace''. It captures the dark, brooding side of their work with some thumping house beats underneath on many of the songs to provide danceable heartbreak anthems." Middleton concluded saying "Rüfüs Du Sol delivers the goods again for their fans with ''Surrender''. There are the bright, soaring and cheery moments that explode out of the speakers, in addition to the heartbreak and chugging beats that underpin much of the record. They have mastered the live feeling of progressive, melodic and dancefloor-ready electronic music."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.magneticmag.com/2021/10/album-review-rufus-du-sol-surrender/|title=Album Review: Rüfüs Du Sol ''Surrender''|website=Magnetic Mag|date=21 October 2021|access-date=23 October 2021}}</ref> |

Cat Woods from ''[[NME Australia]]'' said the trio "...offer atmospheric optimism but nothing new" adding "[the album] is full of mantras, feel-good schmaltzy lyrics that would sound false and forced in less adept hands.
