Martyn Young from ''[[Dork (magazine)|Dork]]'' called ''Blood Orange'' "impressive in its scope and ambition" and noted: "Combining widescreen anthemic string-laden pop with joyous disco-tinged hops and just the right dose of heartbreak, it's a step up from an artist looking to establish themselves as a big deal."<ref name ="DorkReview"/>
== Commercial performance ==
In the United Kingdom, ''Blood Orange'' spent one week at number seven on the [[UK Albums Chart]] with recorded sales of 7,654 units over the first week.<ref name="MW">{{Cite web|last=Jones|first=Alan|title=Charts analysis: The Lottery Winners hit the jackpot with first No.1 album|url=https://www.musicweek.com/analysis/read/charts-analysis-the-lottery-winners-hit-the-jackpot-with-first-no-1-album/087850|date=5 May 2023|access-date=13 May 2023|website=[[Music Week]]|url-access=subscription|archive-date=8 May 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230508153025/https://www.musicweek.com/analysis/read/charts-analysis-the-lottery-winners-hit-the-jackpot-with-first-no-1-album/087850|url-status=live}}</ref> It became Ridings' second top 10 album in the region, following her debut which peaked at number three.<ref name="MW"/>
