The nine track album draws musical comparison to the indie rock band the Antlers' 2011 album, Burst Apart. In a review for The Jersey Journal, the music critic Jim Testa describes the music on Avon-by-the-Sea as "moody, harmony-laden [and] contemplative or sullen," noting that lyrically, a "closer examination reveals that for the Maravines, the ocean is more metaphor than vacation spot." He summarizes his review by writing to "play your old Beach Boys records to soundtrack that joyous ride to the shore this summer," however, that "once you're there, at dawn or twilight, lost in thought, that's when it's time for the Maravines."
Stephen Carradini, from the music review website Independent Clauses, writes that the title track, "Avon-by-the-Sea" has a "slinky, cloudy longing and guitars [that] smolder and yearn but don't explode, while the vocals are earnestly sad, unique and beautiful." The online radio station BlowUpRadio premiered the title track on April 19th, 2021, during the New NJ Music broadcast, and also played the ninth track, "The Snake and Rhinoceros" on May 3rd, 2021.
