Pre Pleasure received critical acclaim from music critics upon its release. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 84, based on 18 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". Kitty Empire of The Observer gave the album four out of five stars, describing it as "a record about the impossibility of communication, and never quite solving your problems".[13] Bella Fleming of The Line of Best Fit indicates that this is Julia's most punchy album so far, "a testament to Julia Jacklin’s ability to adapt and grow as a songwriter".[17] Ellie Robinson of NME wrote that "the material here is some of Jacklin’s most intense, never holding back with her gut-punching ruminations on religion, sex and trauma".[18]
