According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Yes received "universal acclaim" based on a weighted average score of 83 out of 100 from 4 critic scores.[2]

Matt McDermott of Resident Advisor stated, "Beyond the title-track, Yes mostly does away with the classy, tech house-style snap prevalent on 2018's Heat."[9] Gabriela Helfet of The Vinyl Factory wrote, "Contained within are slow-bubbling IDM, house and techno tunes to get lost in, honing on the sparkle of a piano loop or synth ascension to incantatory effect – they're the kinds of tracks that inspire dreaming of better days."[10] Miles Bowe of Stereogum commented that "Yes has now become the best new entry-point into his mysterious world."[1]
