Jack Rabid of AllMusic called the album "a total, total knockout", adding "Drawn to the Deep End, as its title implies, is an emotional onslaught, a flood of raw, unfettered, and unfiltered human feeling, an exquisite ebb and flow of earthquakes and temporary serenity" and stating that it was an "early favorite for 1997's LP of the year."
