Birdy received lukewarm reception from critics. At Metacritic, the album received a score of 61 out of 100, based on 10 critics.[2] AllMusic`s Jon O`Brien wrote that `this stripped-back collection of lesser-known hits and album tracks reads like a who`s who of lo-fi hipster indie rock`, praising Birdy`s `youthful and fragile` voice and concluding that `thanks to her haunting tones and a tasteful yet compelling production, it impressively avoids being the try-hard affair you`d expect.`[3] The BBC`s Nick Levine called the album a `clever covers set... which points to a great future` for the singer.[12] `With a voice that defies her tender years, Birdy... has found herself very quickly touted as one of the brightest up-and-coming talents in the UK,` Andy Baber of MusicOMH wrote.[6] Hermione Hoby of The Observer praised her covers of `Skinny Love` and `Shelter`, while noting that the self-written track `Without a Word` `suggests she might become even more than just a startling voice.`[8]

While praising `Birdy`s simple piano/guitar arrangements and her own sweet voice`, The Guardian`s Caroline Sullivan found the album to be `pleasant but pointless`.[5] James Lachno of The Daily Telegraph wrote that the album `consolidates the buzz with more sparse, affecting covers, and a lone original track that is adequately folkish, but for now Birdy remains a novelty.`[4] Chris Conaton of PopMatters wrote that Birdy `proves that she can really sing; but [her] appeal may depend on how much enjoy desperate, aching piano ballads, because there are a lot of them here.`[9] Duncan Gillespie of NME dismissed the album as `an album of wet-indie covers`.[7] Rolling Stone critic Jody Rosen was more critical, panning the album as `the most boring music ever recorded by a teenager` and concluding, `No one so young should have such flawless taste in Quality Indie Rock, or sound this bummed out.`[10]
