    Consistently entertaining with a few flashes of brilliance, Book kicks off the band's fifth decade of music-making with substance and style.

    Book is likewise packed with songs that take a few listens to click. Flansburgh remains an acute observer of humanity’s pettiest manipulations as well as a shit hot guitarist; Linnell still has one of the most weirdly soulful voices in rock and a feel for poignant absurdity. [Jan 2022, p.72]

    On BOOK (the record) They Might Be Giants continue to pump out what they always have, smart earworm pop tunes that are slightly odd, tastefully corny and instantly catchy.

    The album itself is as fine a collection of infectious, genre-hopping melodic vignettes about random stuff as they've produced in recent years. [Nov 2021, p.70]

    It’s not going to displace the ’80s and ’90s classics like Lincoln or Apollo 18 as a favorite, but it’s a thoroughly enjoyable record from start to finish.
