Nick Levine of [Digital Spy](/wiki/Digital_Spy "Digital Spy") remarked that, in "Today the Sun's on Us", Ellis\-Bextor took on the role a "guitar pop balladeer" with "limited" vocals. Writing for [Playlouder](/wiki/Playlouder "Playlouder"), Jeremy Allen positively compared the song to the works of [Theaudience](/wiki/Theaudience "Theaudience"), Ellis\-Bextor's former band. Writing for [musicOMH](/wiki/MusicOMH "MusicOMH"), Ben Hogwood described it as "pleasant enough" and a "grower", despite its lack of "a big chorus". The staff of [Popjustice](/wiki/Popjustice "Popjustice") listed it as the eighth best single of 2007, calling it "brilliant." [This Is Fake DIY](/wiki/DIY_%28magazine%29 "DIY (magazine)") writer Stuart McCaighy characterised the song as "warm, layered and soothing with a summery sheen". Emily Mackay from [Yahoo! Music](/wiki/Yahoo%21_Music "Yahoo! Music") compared "Today the Sun's on Us" to "[The Cardigans](/wiki/The_Cardigans "The Cardigans") on a bad day" and to the "naffer moments of [Pink](/wiki/Pink_%28singer%29 "Pink (singer)") or [Kelly Clarkson](/wiki/Kelly_Clarkson "Kelly Clarkson")."
