The Shepherd Express described You and Me, Ghost as "wonderfully strange" and "a record rich with traces of The Clean, The Knack and Guided by Voices."^[6] Citypages named the album one of the best Minnesota albums of 2011. The newspaper's Loren Green wrote that on the album, "...there's a strong '60s influence at play in the crisp melodies and doo-wop refrains" and that "The stronger pop element gives extra bounce that contrasts with the deeper lyrics to form a complete package of joy and exploration."^[7] KCMP wrote of the album that "With a flair for '50s pop melodies, Sleeping in The Aviary keep their tunes short, sweet, filled with the catchiest hooks and even a shoo-be-do or two."^[3]
