Perfect Shapes was met with "generally favorable" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 76, based on 8 reviews. Aggregator Album of the Year gave the release a 77 out of 100 based on a critical consensus of 9 reviews.

Joe Goggins of Drowned in Sound admired Kenney's vocals saying that unlike her previous album, it stood out "front and centre, ringing out honeyed and clear as a bell with only minimal effects applied", and noted the album is "so sharply made in Kenney’s own non-conformist image, and she gets away with it. On this form, she’s destined for alt-pop greatness."
