Painless was met with widespread acclaim reviews from critics.[ 4] Laura Snapes of Pitchfork opined that "Painless excels at a kind of subtle disclosure, relying less on power than it does texture and immaculately sparing detail."[ 11] Chris Taylor of Line of Best Fit wrote, "crunchy, ethereal, and odd in its harsh beauty, Painless is a record of contradictions that Yanya spectacularly weaves together." In a five-star review The Telegraph proclaimed that the album "should rubber stamp Nilüfer Yanya as a generational star".
