James Di Fabrizio from Rolling Stone Australia said "Low Altitude Living was created through different means to Ocean Alley's previous work...The new record is a time capsule of the pandemic, with ideas demoed and finessed digitally first. While this imbues the album with a welcome, broader sonic palette, the band's infectious chemistry doesn't always translate."[3] Di Fabrizio added "Baden Donegal has never sounded better."[3]
