Writing for Allmusic, music critic Mark Deming wrote of the album "It doesn't take long for Si Sauvage to announce itself as an album the Suburbs couldn't and wouldn't have made in the '80s, but if this is an older and battle-weary version of the Suburbs, it still sounds and feels like them... Si Sauvage is an album about acknowledging life's lessons without regrets, and finding both sorrow and joy in the process; it's the middle-aged response to the band's best album, 1984's Love Is the Law, and a work that gains depth and power with each listen."[1]
