[2] Paul V. of Frontiers gave the album a positive review, saying "[Wake Up is] the kind of record you want to blare out of your car windows while breaking the speed limit on the freeway." [18] Robert Johnson of Houston Music Review gave the album a positive review, saying "Wake Up is everything a great album should be. It's dynamic yet consistent, catchy yet complex, and extremely good." [12] Mark Graham of VH1 reviewed Wake Up, comparing the band to Passion Pit and Walk the Moon and said, "[the album] is chock full of shimmery, upbeat, immensely positive tracks." [19] Kevin Catchpole of Popmatters gave the album a 6/10 score, calling it "mostly satisfying" and saying that "style-studious feel permeating this album points out how it is both a great beginning and a bit derivative". [1] Paul Mardles of The Observer , in a 3-star review, called the band "relentlessly chirpy and inclusive" but said "strip away the euphoria and there's not much going on". [20] Harriet Gibsone of The Guardian echoed these sentiments in her two-star review, saying "Youngblood Hawke's debut rings loud with euphoria, but has little emotional impact." [21]
