- Consequence praised their “unique amalgam of sounds that is both heavy and heavenly.”
- Brooklyn Vegan said Spotlights “balances the pretty with metallic sludge”
- Invisible Oranges said they thrive “on the ambient and krautrock inspired edges of post-metal.”
- Geoff Calhoun of Abandoned Albums said "Spotlights are mind blowingly good."
In the wake of their 2020 EP We Are All Atomic, Kerrang! observed, “That a band as heavy and romantic as Spotlights have become a fixture in the rock scene Is impressive; that they’ve done it in such a short period of time is tremendous.”
