Perspective
Hot Press described the album as "a sturdy indie-rock record with aging and the passage of time as main themes."[1] It received a four-star rating from AllMusic, whose reviewer Marcy Donelson noted it as "a tight 17-track, 38-minute album that should be welcomed by all fans but especially by millennials (and elder zoomers) aging alongside the beloved songwriter."[6]
Spectrum Culture rated it 79% and referred to it as "a bright, breezy album that picks up its pace often enough to maintain momentum."[11] It was rated 7.5 out of ten by Pitchfork's Marissa Lorusso, who called it "a tribute to holding your younger self with you as you grow."[9] Stephen Thomas Erlewine, writing for Mojo, gave the album a rating of four stars, stating "Singing with a sweet weariness, Kline can seem bemused by her melancholia, her resigned acceptance given an appealing warmth by a band whose gentle sway lends her pop miniatures depth."[7]
Sam Rosenberg of Paste gave it a rating of 6.8 and commented, "Without enough substance underneath its affable presentation, Different Talking doesn't feel all that different from what she's done before."[8] The Skinny rated the album three stars, stating "Despite treading familiar territory, Different Talking's soothing melodies are tailor-made to accompany life's quiet corners."[10]
