Critical reception
Model received generally positive reviews from critics. While many critics praised the album's sound and production, some criticized its repetition and lack of originality. Writing for NME, Anagricel Duran found that the album did not take enough creative risks in comparison to the band's previous releases and felt "bogged down by a few too many wet ballads".
