Critical reception

Souvenir received a score of 85 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on seven critics' reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". Uncut called it "an instantly engaging, 11-track set with zip, heart, sly humour and real staying power, which shucks off the often dry terseness of the genre without trashing its template", while Mojo stated that "it's over in a flash, an exhilarating fairground ride you won't want to disembark". PopMatters Alison Ross found that "the slightly sleeker sound (with a new producer) suits them very well. We certainly don't want to go all Rick Rubin on Omni, but it turns out a somewhat polished production brings out the emotion in this heretofore stoic band".
