Entertainment Weekly C [3]

Jonas L.A. (Music from the TV Series) received mixed to positive reviews from critics. Entertainment Weekly gave the album a "C" grading, with Mikael Wood writing that the songs "are longer on mewling boy-band vocals than on John Mayer-ish guitar work" from Nick Jonas 's previous record, Who I Am (2010), but that he felt that, aside from the song "L.A. Baby", they lack "killer choruses". [3]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic praised the less mature sound of the record, in regards to the band's previous outings, as he felt "this switch is a welcome relief" and that the album has "a true sense of fun". He concluded by stating: "Perhaps they're playing by the rules more than they did on Lines , but that's a good thing: they're letting themselves act like kids, not adults, winding up with a clutch of lively, effervescent pop." [2]
