In a four out of five star review, Siniša Miklaužić from Muzika.hr wrote that Vunturišević stayed true to her electropop roots with Svi na pod!, which can be best seen on the track "Bes". However, according to him, Daljine was more lyrics-focused than her previous work with the band. Miklaužić was particularly favorable of the track "Kese, etikete", compering the "contemporary electropop" sound to the music of New Zealand singer Lorde. Moreover, the critic highlighted the social commentary in the songs "Kese, etikete" and "E70". Ultimately, Miklaužić stated: "At her debut, Bojana showed that she understands extremely well who her audience is and how she should present herself to them".[6]
Balkanrock enlisted Daljine among the top 30 best regional releases from 2017, while Muzika.hr placed the album at number two on their review of 2017.[7][8]
