Young Narrator in the Breakers received largely positive reviews from contemporary music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 71, which indicates "generally favorable reviews."[11]

Cameron Cook of Pitchfork praised the record, comparing vocalist Eliza Bagg to "a lovelorn alien reaching out from the farthest reaches of the galaxy,"[12] while AllMusic selected it as an Album Pick and wrote, "Pavo Pavo have achieved a collection that eschews the obvious, being undoubtedly hip yet simultaneous geeky in its references, and the resulting work is a real gem."[13]
