Echoes and Dust praised Between Screens, saying "everything about this album makes the hair on my arms rise and creates goosebumps all over."[3]

Ride the Tempo declared that "'Between Screens’ is an even stronger set of music, and also more purposeful" compared to The Wax Girl's "excellent" 2014 release, Anosmic EP.[1]

Weird Canada published a feature on April 2, 2015, proclaiming that Between Screens is "perfect for laying back and letting the current take you where it will."[5]
