Heather Phares of AllMusic said, "Holo Boy may not be as much of a statement as Box for Buddy, Box for Star, but its charms are undeniable."[1] Robin Murray of Clash said, "In the wrong hands this kind of indie pop could become trainspotter-ish, or an exercise in technical skills and box-ticking – as it is, Holo Boy is a wonderfully enjoyable cycle of straight-down-the-line songwriting."[2] Rachel Aroesti of The Guardian said, "One half of Water From Your Eyes re-records songs from the back catalogue of his other band, resulting in acoustic fare touched with regret and darkness."[3] Manon Bushong of Paste said, "Nate Amos's latest solo album consists entirely of songs written in the years prior to 2024's Box for Buddy, Box for Star. The music presents us with yet another robust block of material that allows his idiosyncratic songwriting to truly shine."[4] Sue Park of Pitchfork said, "Songwriter Nate Amos polishes up 10 tracks from his Bandcamp days and confronts humorous self-effacement with new confidence."[5] Trev Elkin of Spectrum Culture said, "This Is Lorelei's Holo Boy has the air of an artist taking stock, as he maps the route taken while checking which parts still line up now."[6]
