Yours Conditionally was generally well-received upon its initial release. Tim Sendra of AllMusic gave the album four and a ½ stars out of five, calling the album "punchy and sharp, still influenced by classic pop/rock song structures and recognizable to fans of Buddy Holly or the Shirelles, but with some new elements mixed in," deeming it their "best record so far."[1]PopMatters granted the album seven out of ten stars, noting: "Yours Conditionally makes no attempt to reinvent Tennis and suffers from the same flaws that have mired much of their music, namely a tendency toward pleasant predictability. While the album is largely content to reside in familiar, unchallenging territory, however, it is also a lean and well-crafted set of pop songs with more bite than it lets on. It remains a largely satisfying venture that adds nuance, definition, and depth to the band’s already well-established sound."[7]
Canadian publication Exclaim! gave the album a positive review, comparing both the instrumentation and Moore's vocals to Carole King and Fleetwood Mac.[5] Laura Browning of The A.V. Club published a middling review of the album, writing: "Even with some outstanding singles, the album as a whole finds the group somewhere between its comfort zone and a confident next step, with many of the songs bleeding forgettably into one another."[4]
