Euphories generally received positive reviews. Mary Atkinson of The Independent stated, "The album possesses an impressive versatility which can particularly be seen in the track ‘Roi’, in which Matthieu takes a more prominent vocal role," she further complimented Reynaud's vocals with the statement, "Matthieu’s vocals fulfilling his part in almost a love letter or poem between the duo, demonstrating the variety of the duo’s musical talent with Matthieu’s usually seen in the composition and arrangement of their songs."[3] Kylie Warrix of Totally Wired! Magazine stated, "There's something incredibly enchanting about this record. I have been a fan of VIDEOCLUB for quite some time now, so hearing the singles I’ve been playing on repeat be finally compiled into a full-length album is something truly special."[11]
In 2022, "Amour plastique" being gaining internet attention, alongside songs such as "Le Festin" and "Tourners dans le vide," because of a surge of interest in French culture.[12] The song further garnered attention on the internet, specifically on the site TikTok, in September, 2023, due to it being paired with an image on Napoleon Bonaparte on St. Helena stating, "There's nothing we can do," in a viral video.[13]
