Barry Walters of Rolling Stone declared "Like No Angel ... isn't groundbreaking, but it has its own kind of integrity.[40] "Life for Rent doesn't offer anything that drastically different from Dido's debut album [No Angel], ... she's unassuming and gentle, but her songs are so melodic and atmospheric they easily work their way into the subconscious" was the review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine, from Allmusic.[32] Andrew Lynch, from entertainment.ie noted: "Life For Rent is no masterpiece, but it has the same kind of sweet, unassuming, girl-next-door charm that made its predecessor such a smash hit".[41] Derryck Strachan, BBC Music reviewer wrote " ... she treads a fine line between credibility and popularity ... But, she hasn't put a foot wrong with this album. On the positive side that means more well-crafted folk-pop tunes, on the negative side she hasn't moved forward", also said "Although Dido played a significant part in older brother Rollo's band, ... Faithless, it would be misleading to say that the groups success brought her fame".[1]

This also shows in the title track, where she compares not being able to settle down (in a relationship, in a place to call home) to living for rent, easy to cancel and walk away from, instead of buying, a more committed action with longer consequences. In the final lines, she continuously repeats "Nothing I have is truly mine" as a sort of reminder of where her choices have left her. Dido didn't save the quality songs for singles though and I do want to highlight how many of these album tracks just absolutely rule. See You When You're 40 literally still ends the lives of mediocre men every day, Mary's in India is so comforting for everyone who has experienced a friend moving away, This Land is Mine sets clear boundaries in song form literally who is doing it like her.
