  1. Blender
    60
    Paired with the Kids’ fidelity to verse/chorus pop, Pryor’s boyishly confident, hopeful delivery can sound pro forma, even mindless.
  2. The A.V. Club
    60
    The Get Up Kids relies on classic pop arrangements (piano accents, acoustic bridges, moody electronic/orchestral interludes, and climactic choruses) to bring a touch of class to what might otherwise be standard half-hook emo, faintly catchy but fundamentally unmemorable.
  3. Rolling Stone
    40
    Pryor delivers wounded-boy bromides that are so shopworn, they sound indifferent.
