Critical reception

Noah Wade of Melodic magazine stated that "Hayes' foray into pop, despite songs like "Tattoo" and "Everybody's Got Somebody but Me" deep in his discography, isn't a complete left turn" and that "His time as The Astronaut on "The Masked Singer," which saw him cover a litany of pop tunes including "Shape of You" by Ed Sheeran and "If I Can't Have You" by Shawn Mendes, was a reminder to many of just how versatile of a vocalist he can be."[3]

Nicholas Roberts of Square One Magazine voiced that "A consistent issue in Red Sky, greater than any to do with the songs themselves, is a matter of pacing" going on to indicate that "Every time one track builds pace and excitement, or lulls the listener into introspection, the tone suddenly changes and forces you to adjust to the new mood, it's not until the last half of the album that the pace is allowed to build more consistently to suit the overall theme of the album."[4]
