The album currently holds a score of 71 on the review aggregate website Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable" reception.[6]

In a positive review for The A.V. Club, Chris Mincher highlighted the record's "fluidity," "airy harmonies, polyrhythmic melodies, and inventive time-signature experiments," stating that "Beware and Be Grateful has plenty to please both casual listeners and angular-prog purists (assuming such people exist)."[7]

Conversely, a review from NME weighed Beware and Be Gratefuls technical aspects and layered songwriting against its emotive capacity:

"Maps & Atlases are back with an energetic collection of intelligent pop. This time around, the band’s obsession with complex rhythms is channelled though layers and layers of melody ... What’s missing is any emotional contrast to stop all that cleverness from sounding overwhelming."[8]

Travis Persaud of Exclaim! similarly praised the album's production value while lamenting its lack of grounding pathos: "The songs are engaging and incredibly catchy, but lack emotion ― that intangible quality that will take this feel-good record and give it staying power. It's a step in an interesting direction though."[9]
