| Pitchfork | 7.9/10[2] |
Hattie Lindert of Pitchfork described Destiny as a "radiant, elastic, nearly four-hour celebration of the transportive possibilities of dance music" and remarked that "daunting as its length may appear, Destiny is less an Odyssey than a 'most romantic moments' YouTube compilation: easy to dip in and out of, because the payoffs just keep coming".[2] Stereogum named it their "Album of the Week" on 15 August 2023, with Chris DeVille writing that it is "an extreme spin on the trope of a record you can get lost in" with music "designed to work best as a backdrop for some other activity, whether that means lighting up a party or carrying you through a night in front of a computer monitor. Think of it as Since I Left You for the 'beats to study/relax to' era".[1]
