Writing for Allmusic, music critic Stewart Mason called the album "inappropriately produced... in a fashion that completely sublimates all of the qualities that had made the quintet so musically interesting in the first place." [1]
Ira Robbins of Trouser Press was more positive but not ecstatic, calling it "another powerful record, albeit one whose character is less firmly held in its musical approach than its lyrics. Gone is the antsy, skittish urgency of yore; Suburbs is utterly listenable (but not overwhelmingly unique)." [2]
All songs composed by The Suburbs.
