In a ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]'' review, Jes Skolnik wrote that the record "owes quite a bit to '80s and '90s goth-leaning [[college rock]] but thankfully never feels like a direct tracing thereof".<ref name="pitchfork">{{cite web|url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/21309-right-on/|title=jennylee: right on! album review|work=[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]|first1=Jes|last1=Skolnik|date=December 8, 2015|access-date=December 14, 2015}}</ref> ''[[The Guardian]]'' critic Rachel Aroesti said that "lead single 'Never' pairs a '[[Transmission (song)|Transmission]]'-esque bassline with wayward drums, while 'Blind' presents droning, dismantled blues and 'Offerings' sounds like the work of a goth-rock [[Orange Juice (band)|Orange Juice]]".<ref name="guardian">{{cite news|last1=Aroesti|first1=Rachel|title=Jennylee: Right On! review – Warpaint bassist's vague, hazy solo debut|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/dec/03/jennylee-right-on-review-jenny-lee-lindberg-warpaint|access-date=December 14, 2015|work=[[The Guardian]]|date=December 3, 2015}}</ref> Anna Alger of ''[[Exclaim!]]'' wrote that the record "cements [Lindberg's] place as an intuitive songwriter who knows how to craft complex, danceable songs as well as introspective, downtempo numbers."<ref name="exclaim"/> ''[[NME]]'' reviewer Barry Nicolson said that the record emphasizes "mood over melody" and suggests that "it's something of a grower, whose charms are revealed like arcane secrets only to those with patience, persistence and a lack of proximity to heavy machinery".<ref name="nme">{{cite web|last1=Nicolson|first1=Barry|title=Jennylee - 'Right On!' review|url=https://www.nme.com/reviews/warpaint/16353|website=NME|access-date=December 14, 2015}}</ref> Richard Godwin's ''[[Evening Standard]]'' review concluded that "the best of ''Right On!'' snaps along at a rapid pace, building from [[Peter Hook]]-esque bass figures played high up the fretboard and tumultuous drums ... mixed a little too low for floor-filling purposes but high enough to create an anxious, addictive groove".<ref name="standard">{{cite news|last1=Godwin|first1=Richard|title=jennylee - right on!, album review: 'will intrigue existing fans'|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/stayingin/music/jennylee-right-on-album-review-a3135821.html|access-date=December 14, 2015|work=[[Evening Standard]]|date=December 11, 2015}}</ref>
