Giving the album a seven and a half stars for This Is Not a Scene, Louisa writes, "It is flawlessly put together, and the recording is faultless."[8] Rating the album a seven out of ten at Bring the Noise UK, Sherin Malick says, "Make It Right is perfect second full length from Abel."[1] Awarding the album a nine out of ten from Mind Equals Blown, Tim Dodderidge states, "Make It Right is a visage of memorable, hearty alternative rock ... meshing of vitality, distress, sincerity and controlled rigidness, it seats itself among 2012's best albums."[6] Tyler Hess, giving the album a 4.25 out of five by Christian Music Zine, describes, "Make It Right they definitely deserve a bump up the popularity pole."[2]
