You Won't Get What You Want was met with widespread critical acclaim. On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 87, based on 11 reviews, which indicates "universal acclaim".[10] The album was included on numerous end-of-year lists as one of the best albums of 2018. Pitchfork wrote, "Similar to their Providence art-metal contemporaries in The Body, Daughters’ accessibility is directly proportional to their uncompromising compositional choices—hypnotic dissonance, martial drums cranked to incapacitating volumes, scathing vocal repetition, all rendered through impossibly vivid production. This is not music interesting [sic] in growing on you: it consumes and dominates."[15] PopMatters called it "the perfect return for Daughters. While aspects of the band's creative vision have been altered and their sound has further evolved, the core elements remain intact. The asphyxiating sound has been augmented with the inclusion of longer, heavier sludge influenced moments. The tension the band build is further explored through different means."[16] The album also notably received a "perfect 10" from Anthony Fantano of The Needle Drop, one of only five albums to have ever received such a score as of January 2021.[19]
