Critical reception
The Space Between received positive reviews from critics. Briana Younger from Pitchfork said, "The writing is simple but effective; the productions are intricate but subtly propulsive. There is plenty that can stand alone here, but the album is best consumed all the way through, present and unhurried." Yasin Rahman from Exclaim stated, "The Space Between is enjoyable and interesting. Majid Jordan haven't strayed too far from their typical formula, but keep things interesting for their fans with introspective lyrics and new sounds."
