''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]'' awarded the album its Best New Music distinction, with reviewer [[Marc Hogan]] writing, "Trevor Powers has long shown a penchant for reinvention, but his first album as Youth Lagoon in eight years feels like a homecoming; he's never sounded so confident or at peace with himself."<ref name="Pitchfork" /> Kyle Kohner of ''[[Exclaim!]]'' wrote, "''Heaven Is a Junkyard'' will make you feel its spiritual tone and tenor, a superpower that has laid dormant with Youth Lagoon — Powers has found his voice again."<ref name="Exclaim" /> Sputnikmusic gave it a score of 4.2/5, and wrote, "''Heaven Is a Junkyard'' might be a comparatively trim release, but it contains multitudes."<ref name="Sputnikmusic" /> John Amen of ''[[Beats Per Minute (website)|Beats Per Minute]]'' wrote, ''"Heaven Is a Junkyard'' ... is Powers’ most hook-oriented and arresting set, the Idaho-based artist basking in newfound confidence despite his clear awareness that so much of life remains uncontrollable." Amen concluded by calling the album "one of 2023’s more hypnotic sequences."<ref name="BPM" />
