Critical reception The album generally received positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received an average score of 76, based on 4 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". AllMusic critic Paul Simpson thought that "the album's best moments are essentially the ones where he channels Prince," writing: "Sagar seems trapped at home and unable to break free from everything that's holding him down, but he's doing his best to get by." Noveen Bajpai of Clash described the album as "his [Sagar's] most confidently obtuse and complete record yet " Exclaim!s Cosette Schulz stated: "Calm, cool and collected, Fresh Air is a record you'll have playing in the background while you light a candle, anticipating your lover's knock at the door." Pitchfork critic Kevin Lozano thought that the album lacks "cohesive pacing." Nevertheless, Lozano also further wrote: "While there isn’t quite anyone who possesses Sagar’s style in the wide world of indie rock, he’ll have to add a few more tricks, lest he fall into rote routine."
