Critical reception

Upon release, Ringos Desert received favorable reviews. Dancing Astronaut praised Ringos Desert saying that "Every song is polished to absolute perfection, each sound given dedicated space to exist like modern art in an exhibit. Tucked into the songs is a cheeky dose of western sonic flavor that seasons the entire album".[2] Billboard magazine characterized songs on the album as having "a right clubbiness", "a ghostly R&B touch", and a "romantic struggle narrative with a strong sentiment of self-empowerment".[3]
