  1. All At Once shares many of the same stylistic preoccupations as War Prayers, but by carefully reworking similar material, it improves on its predecessor.

    It's an experiment in homage. [#19, p.104]
  3. At first, the album seems slightly anticlimactic and even perplexing, but upon repeated listens, All at Once shows that Young People remain fascinating.

    Depressing? Slightly, but there's something cathartic here. [May 2006, p.95]
  5. Q Magazine

    One of those albums that grabs your attention without ever having to shout at you. [May 2006, p.131]
  6. All at Once is still challenging, but it’s a challenge without much reward.
  7. There are almost as many great ideas on abounding across this record as on any prior album form the band. It’s just that this time their execution left a lot to be desired.
