with static electricity." AllMusic's Greg Prato felt that although the album has its highlights, it's not as strong as Morphine's previous albums, writing, "Some of the material doesn't sound fully developed, almost as if the Boston trio was rushed to complete the album." Writing positively about the album, MTV's Seth Mnookin wrote, "Sounding as complete and essential as Cure for Pain and containing some of the kick-ass riffs that were scattered through-out Yes, Like Swimming is Morphine's best album yet." Trouser Press'' was also positive, noting the album's many "adventurous" and rock-oriented songs, which they felt ended claims "that the group's setup was intrinsically limited."
