Waves received generally positive reviews from critics. At
David Drake of Pitchfork stated, "It points to an artistic flexibility that will pay dividends down the road. The room to grow is there, should he decide to pursue the colors Wave[s] has opened up for him."[7] Dan Weiss of Spin stated, "Wave[s] is louder, catchier, and about half the length of The Water[s]."[9] Sidney Madden of XXL stated, "Although it doesn't pan out on every track, the cohesive work allows the listener to feel that they've plunged into the depths of Mick's mind and come out with a soaked sense of clarity."[10]
