The album received positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 76, based on 19 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[7] No Mythologies to Follow debuted at number 58 on the UK Albums Chart, selling 1,438 copies in its first week.[18]

Background

In an interview with Interview magazine, MØ was quoted saying, "I wrote all of the songs, and I'm attached to all of the songs. They all fit together, and I feel like they're telling a story.[19] If I should name one that I think represents the album very nicely, then it's a song called "Pilgrim." It's very simple and strong in its message. Both production-wise and lyrically, it's very simple and minimalistic, but has some depth to it." The theme for the album is about being young, inexperienced, and being lost in this crazy society we live in these days.[19] Further on the theme she extended, "When you're young and insecure, there's a lot of pressure to live up to these ideals, and it's impossible. It's hard to find your own way and navigate through. That's the theme of the album: to be young and searching." Her track "Pilgrim" was also featured as a score in the Italian version of Acqua di Gioia's advertisement.[19] She noted that the song is wanting to escape the noise of society and just go somewhere private where you can listen to your own thoughts and figure out what you want to be.[19] The track "Don't Wanna Dance" adheres to a collection of squelching synths and was released as a single in February 2014.[19] GQ stated that the track "Walk This Way" has "grand vocals" and fantastically produced "dynamic", funky guitar riffs.[20] MØ recorded the vocals for the album in her childhood bedroom.[21][22]
