Critical reception
Upon release, Sit Still, Look Pretty received mixed reviews from critics. Writing for Rolling Stone, Brittany Spanos described the album as being "not especially unique", but noted that Daya's performance on the lead single, as well has her collaboration with The Chainsmokers on "Don't Let Me Down", "made her a surprisingly soulful leader of a new kind of bubblegum". In a more positive review, AllMusic gave the album a three and a half star rating, writing that the LP "offers a fun and youthful alternative to the smokier shades of the post-Lorde alt-pop landscape".
