Reception
Rolling Stone rated the album four stars and described it as "a sonically surprising and structurally unconventional indie rock record." Uproxx commented that "Similar to how Alex G put songs like "Bobby" and "Brick" on the same album, Great Grandpa apply that interdisciplinary stylization to their first album in over five years."
Stereogum, picking it as its Album of the Week, noted "Patience, Moonbeam expands on the Four of Arrows template. The songs feel bigger, richer, and more varied, often buoyed by orchestral strings by Abby Gunderson and Jeremiah Moon or pedal steel from Nick Levine." Exclaim! remarked "More than emo, more than alt-country, Great Grandpa have made something completely their own by never shying away from exuberance or pain."
PopMatters assigned the album a rating of seven out of ten, calling it "really nicely balanced record" and noting that "the songwriting is solid throughout, and Menne's voice is compelling." The Line of Best Fit rated the album nine out of ten and stated "The album leans heavier on pedal steel than distortion pedal, but even the deepest, darkest moments crackle with electricity," describing it as "nothing shy of luminous".
