| AllMusic | |
Kat Bouza from Rolling Stone Australia said "Australian band channels heartbreak, failed expectations and insecurity into an intimate collection of tender-hearted indie rock."[4]
Cat Woods from NME said "The trio move on from their indie punk beginnings on their third album, which offers songs more mature but no less magnificent."[5]
Timothy Monger from AllMusic said "Co-produced with Anna Laverty, Hurricane feels like a calm exhalation from a band who have metaphorically passed through a storm and learned a great deal in the process. Poignant and introspective, songs like 'Caroline' and 'The Screaming Planet' have a relaxed, lived-in feeling to them, addressing joys and struggles that, while still universal, seem closer to home."[6]
