With the release of the album, McAlpine also released a film on April 8, 2022. The film is available to watch on Lizzy McAlpine's official YouTube channel.^[8]

All but two of the album's songs appear in the film. McAlpine came up with the whole idea for the film and the plot by herself. "I had whole pages of complex explanations about the meaning of the film", she said in a questionnaire after the screening of the film. She came up with the idea of the skeletons in the film "because I feel that heartbreak is like a small death".^[9]

According to the collection of reviews on Album of the Year, the album received a user score of 78/100 and a critic score of 80/100.^[14]

In a 4 out of 5 star review, Dork wrote that "the album is all flashes of clean white sheets, sunlight coming through the blinds, first stirring of your coffee in the morning... Over the course of the album, the 22-year-old finds herself traversing through gut-punching heartbreak: each track feels like another step on tentative feet."^[11] The Line of Best Fit praised McAlpine's growth as an artist who "sounds confident and accomplished on her second album" and "showcases her skill as a singer, songwriter and storyteller" with Five Seconds Flat.^[12]

According to a review by Dartmouth student Elle Muller, the album "builds upon raw lyricism and extends her storytelling through a longer exploration of heartbreak."^[15]
