Rainbow Mirror was met with mostly positive reviews. The album received an average score of 72/100 from 5 reviews on Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Writing for Exclaim!, Brayden Turenne said, "despite occasionally overlong runtimes, Rainbow Mirror is an album that encourages introspection and submerging oneself in their unconscious. It's a monument that both inspires and terrifies."^[6] In a mixed review for the album, Louis Pattison of Pitchfork wrote, "for all its imposing scale, though, it lacks some of the dramatic finesse of classic Prurient."^[7] Pattison also criticized the lack of vocals from Fernow, saying the lyrical void makes the songs lack character.^[7] Andrew Ryce of Resident Advisor wrote, "At over three hours of half-lidded drone and ambient, Rainbow Mirror is one of the quietest Prurient albums, yet also one of the most demanding."^[8]
