Critical reception
Ryan Keeling of Resident Advisor stated, "As Wet Will Always Dry proves, Blawan has pushed things forward by showing that the traditional techno template can still be sculpted in surprising new forms." Paul Simpson of AllMusic called it "yet more proof that he's one of the decade's greatest techno producers" and "Undoubtedly one of the best techno albums of 2018." Meanwhile, Thomas Frost of Crack wrote, "As a whole, Wet Will Always Dry stays true to the textures Blawan craves, but doesn't necessarily translate into a cohesive statement, feeling more akin to a punchy collection of well-produced Blawan tracks than any kind of journey."
