Critical Reception[]
Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that Apple "demonstrates considerable talent" and called the album a "promising and very intriguing debut."
He also wrote: "Most of Tidal is comprised of confessional singer/songwriter material, and while they strive to say something deep and important, much of the lyrics settle for clichés."
