    It's probably the most honest collection yet. [Oct 2011, p.109]
  2. It may not supplant Through Being Cool or Stay What You Are as your favorite Saves The Day album, but you can safely put it in the upper echelon of their discography.

    Daybreak is successful on two levels: in the way it touches on the best elements of Saves the Day's past works, it's a welcome entry point for new listeners; and with its freshness, it assures established fans that the band is still invigorated after going at it for over a decade.

    A five year pop-rock trilogy concludes in audacious style. [Sep 2011, p.52]

    Much of the album seems far too content with sleekly produced, mid tempo numbers that sterilize one of the band's strongest assets, Conley's voice.

    There's very little sonic or lyrical difference between this and any other of STD's recent recordings.

    Though Daybreak generally fulfils that longing for the simpler days of 2001's Stay What You Are, it's ultimately hard to understand why it's taken almost three years to make such a simplistic record.
