Rob Theakston of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, calling it "an album that skillfully balances and blurs the line between electronic music and a nostalgic longing for a whispy dream pop revival." He added, "The themes of isolation, solitude and general soul-crushing existence make it their most blatantly honest work and help further reinforce the notion that this is their most fully realized and beautiful release to date." Sam Url of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.6 out of 10, saying, "Different Days is notable for its consistency; a collection of primarily lovelorn ballads, each song flickers with detail while retaining many common characteristics."
