Reception

Siobhán Kane of The Irish Times writes that tracks have "spindly eeriness" and are "gorgeously discomfiting" that is "vital, intelligent and dreamy music"; she gave the album 4 out of 5 stars. At musicOMH, Steven Johnson gave Dream from the Deep Well 3 out of 5 stars, summing up that it is "a heavy, lugubrious listen in places but is also the sound of an artist pursuing their art with integrity and investing themselves fully, showing that, while adversity can at times feel all encompassing, there are ways to overcome and find resolution". Sharon O'Connell of Uncut rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, calling this Power's "most resolute set yet". In Under the Radar, Irina Shtreis gave this release a 7 out of 10, calling it "a response to the times when it was created" that neither tries to sugarcoat or escape reality.
