    Gutterflower will undoubtedly take the Goo Goo Dolls to greater success, and deservedly so, such is it's quality and consistency.
  2. AllMusic
    80
    A good, professional rock record, one that sells their sound as if it was as the most commercial imaginable, resulting in one of their most consistent albums.
  3. CDNow
    80
    The CD unfurls a ragged blend of infectious melodies, couched in brisk tempos, and shimmering ballads culled from the blueprint of such past hits as "Name" and "Iris."
  5. Rolling Stone

    Gutterflower proves once again that they are masters at crafting instantly appealing pop songs.
  6. CultureDose.net
    70
    The real problem with Gutterflower is that it doesn't really add anything new to the Goo Goo Dolls repertoire.
  7. Uncut

    Goes back to basics with a blinding mix of anthemic post-punk rockers and pretty mid-tempo ballads. [Jul 2002, p.107]

    This CD Is not as Punk as Dizzy Up The Girl or any of the CDs before, but it's still clearly the Goo Goo Dolls, perhaps more mature. This CD Is not as Punk as Dizzy Up The Girl or any of the CDs before, but it's still clearly the Goo Goo Dolls, perhaps more mature. There is not one song on this CD that I do not like. Of course there are only a couple of songs by The Goo Goo Dolls that I don't like!… Full Review »
