Daily Express 3/5 [12]

Jon O'Brien of AllMusic noted that while Bright Lights "may not offer anything particularly new", it's "a consistently enjoyable addition to her catalog". [11] Simon Gage from Daily Express noted that it is "all in the same very high-quality vein", praising Goulding's vocal. However, Gage criticised that "it's not clear why she didn't come up with a couple more songs and a totally fresh album". [12]
