David Jeffries of AllMusic gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying: "Putting paranoia and noir to the side for the moment, Alias has created his most welcoming and positive dream world on Resurgam, an album where the creaks comfort and the low cloud cover comes off as heavenly." Mia Lily Clarke of Pitchfork gave the album a 7.0 out of 10, saying: "While Resurgam is a record of many different moods, and unashamedly derivative of Alias' influences, it maintains a distinctive, concrete consistency." She added: "This is largely due to Alias' impressive talent for arrangements; the material is deftly woven with a great ear for detail, and there really is something to appeal to almost everyone."
