Greta Jines of The Daily Reveille gave a positive review for the album stating, "there's a noticeable mix of styles throughout the album’s entirety. Some are eerie, some are upbeat and some are even a little twangy. Regardless of style, each track also feels richer and less acoustic." She described "On the Brightside" as a "vibe that feels almost cinematic." She also praised the tracks, "Black Hole (Liar Liar)", "Robot" and "Lost at Sea". However, she criticized the other tracks such as "Sacrilegious" and "Here Goes Nothing" stating, "It's almost as if the right idea for these two tracks was there, but the band never quite followed through, which will leave the listener disappointed. The strength of the album's other songs makes these two fail in comparison." She ended off noting, "Recycled Youth may strike a familiar chord with listeners, but it feels brand new. It's not often an artist revisits old material and changes the dynamic of songs which established the band, but if this is the result, it may not be such a bad idea." [1]
