Stephen Thomas Erlewine, writing for Allmusic gave Further Joy four stars out of five. Erlewine praised the tone and direction of the album saying "the thrust of Further Joy is unmistakably positive, an album where the Regrettes deliberately choose positivity instead of negative energy. This could've been a cloying direction if it weren't for Night's sharp skills as a songwriter, the palpable chemistry of the Regrettes, and the sleek shine of the production, each contributing to the exuberance of Further Joy.
