Yours Conditionally was generally well-received upon its initial release. Tim Sendra of AllMusic gave the album four and a ½stars out of five,calling the album "punchy and sharp,still influenced by classic pop/rock song structures and recognizable to fans of Buddy Holly or the Shirelles,but with some new elements mixed in," deeming it their "best record so far." [1] PopMatters granted the album seven out of ten stars,noting:"Yours Conditionally makes no attempt to reinvent Tennis and suffers from the same flaws that have mired much of their music,namely a tendency toward pleasant predictability. While the album is largely content to reside in familiar,unchallenging territory,however,it is also a lean and well-crafted set of pop songs with more bite than it lets on. It remains a largely satisfying venture that adds nuance,definition,and depth to the band’s already well-established sound." [7]
Canadian publication Exclaim! gave the album a positive review,comparing both the instrumentation and Moore's vocals to Carole King and Fleetwood Mac. [5] Laura Browning of The A.V. Club published a middling review of the album,writing:"Even with some outstanding singles,the album as a whole finds the group somewhere between its comfort zone and a confident next step,with many of the songs bleeding forgettably into one another." [4]
All tracks are written by Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore.
