Blabbermouth | 7.5/10 [5] |
Distorted Sound Magazine | 6/10 [6] |
Kerrang! | 3/5 [7] |
James Hickie of Kerrang! magazine gave the album 3 out of 5 stars and said, "It's the sound of a band returning to the sound that made them famous, with all the overly earnest hallmarks in place, but little else to reflect what its creators have learned, musically and emotionally, in the intervening years since they broke big. It's something of a return to form then, a little on the regressive side too." [7] Distorted Sound's Katie Bird has mixed reviews of the album saying, "Whilst there are songs that are staples of what they've always done, such as the sing-along chorus of Would You Even or the acoustic love song You Plus Me, the band also try new things." like with Fire Up. Then there were some "pitfalls" during the middle of album but the album's pacing picks back up starting with Happy. Lastly she writes, "Overall, this a flawed but enjoyable album," [6] Anne Erickson of Blabbermouth.net wrote, "The strongest aspect of this new PLAIN WHITE T's album is the band's continued strength in songwriting and ability to relate to the listener. The lyrics of these songs really tell a story, often of love or, on the contrary, heartbreak, which is always a relatable theme. For those who appreciate a good story, this new album is a winner."
