Writing for The Line of Best Fit, Amaya Lim gave the release a seven out of ten, noting "Bad Dream Jaguar reads as a meditation on separation, rather than a lamentation or condemnation. Colwell seems to address herself and her relationship from a third party's perspective, a layer of poetry between the writing and her experience."[7]
