Taylor Hart from West Coast cannabis hip-hop site Respect My Region selected Delicate as one of the very best Northwest albums from 2020, saying:

You wanna talk about someone skating over a beat? Let’s talk Dave B. He glides across the ice with his lyrics gracefully as if he were competing in the Olympics. The way the words fall out of his mouth it’s like he’s hitting triple axles with his tongue. His newest album, Delicate, is a stunning example of these talents. Dave B.’s the type of artist, for me, where I don’t even question whether the album will be good or not; I just know I’m going to listen to it and enjoy it.
