''Always In Between'' received mixed reviews from [[music critics]]. At [[Metacritic]], which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 60 out of 100 based on 4 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".<ref name="MC1" />
[[Alexis Petridis]] of ''[[The Guardian]]'' gave the album two stars out of five, calling it "generic Top 40 and soul-pop finished to a high standard". While noting that the album is "influenced by classic soul, heavy on the blaring brass – not so much [[Amy Winehouse]] as her less emotionally wrenching contemporary [[Joss Stone]] – and, at the other, undemanding [[dance-pop]] topped by an immediately recognisable voice, the same idea that garnered [[M People]] vast success 20 years ago", Petridis concluded that "[y]ou can see why people relate to it, you can tell it's going to be huge: it is what pop is in 2018, but the feeling that pop can be something rather more than this is hard to shake."<ref name="Guardian"/> [[Will Hodgkinson]] of ''[[The Times]]'' gave the album the same rating, comparing tracks "No One" and "Broken" and their "teary verses and swelling choruses" to [[Adele]] but said the tracks "lack Adele's ability to evoke real feeling". He ultimately called the album "missing any real sense of character or expression."<ref name="Times"/> In a more positive review, [[Maura Johnston]], writing for ''[[Rolling Stone]]'', said "she’s once again bridging the gap between bouncy pop-EDM and feisty soul, shaking off the malaise that’s struck too many of her playlisted peers in a way that lets Glynne serve as a one-woman rooting crew for herself and, by extension, anyone in need of a peppy pick-me-up" and gave the album three and a half stars.<ref name="Rolling Stone" />
==Commercial performance== In the United Kingdom, ''Always In Between'' debuted at number one on the [[UK Albums Chart]], selling 36,500 album-equivalent units during its first week of release, with a total of 24,820 physical sales (67% of overall units). In doing so, she scored her second UK number-one album, while also becoming the first British female artist to achieve a number-one album in the country in 2018.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/jess-glynne-scores-second-number-1-album-with-always-in-between__24505/|title=Jess Glynne scores second Number 1 album with Always In Between|publisher=[[Official Charts Company]]|last=Ainsley|first=Helen|date=19 October 2018|access-date=23 October 2018}}</ref>
