''Wine Dark Sea'' received a score of 83 out of 100 on review aggregator [[Metacritic]] based on 11 critics' reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".<ref name="MC"/> Thom Jurek of [[AllMusic]] called the album "a raw, often raucous presentation, balanced by Holland's mature poetic vision and her continued exploration of American musical forms. She effortlessly links them, one source to another, as seemingly disparate performance styles are filtered through a universal language, the love song, and all 11 tracks here are just that; Holland's are filled with tenderness, ferocity, fearlessness, and unfettered desire".<ref name="AM"/>
