Critical reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that "Since Happy Endings flows so easily, it may be easy to glide along with its slick surfaces, but a close listen reveals not only the sturdiness of the songs but the cleverness of the production", rating it 4 out of 5 stars. Cillea Houghton of Sounds Like Nashville reviewed the album with favor, stating that "The album finds them in a slightly more poignant place than on 2015's Meat and Candy, while still flaunting their clever personalities and unique songwriting style."
