Critical reception
The Shepherd Express described You and Me, Ghost as "wonderfully strange" and "a record rich with traces of The Clean, The Knack and Guided by Voices." Citypages named the album one of the best Minnesota albums of 2011. The newspaper's Loren Green wrote that on the album, "...there's a strong '60s influence at play in the crisp melodies and doo-wop refrains" and that "The stronger pop element gives extra bounce that contrasts with the deeper lyrics to form a complete package of joy and exploration." KCMP wrote of the album that "With a flair for '50s pop melodies, Sleeping in The Aviary keep their tunes short, sweet, filled with the catchiest hooks and even a shoo-be-do or two."
