Late Night Tales: Röyksopp received critical acclaim from music critics.[4][5][6][7][8] At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 75, based on 4 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[3]

Jason Lymangrover of AllMusic commented that "Röyksopp's contribution [to the Late Night Tales series] showcases the Norwegian duo's love of analog synthesizer tones. The album's 19 tracks weave an icy, cinematic narrative".[4] Roy Søbstad of Fædrelandsvennen noted that "The selection [of songs] is as catchy as it is eclectic, and is equally suitable for both after parties and music nerds."[5] Ned Raggett of Pitchfork stated that "There's a sweetly consistent mood throughout [the album]; it’s something you can put on and treat as ambient sound, but there’s also a clever subtlety in their process."[7]
