    The intensity builds so subtly that it's hard to pinpoint when the easygoing chord changes give way to droning menace, but by the time they hit the nine-minute-plus closing reprise of "In Between," the pastoral vibe has been transformed into squalling white noise. [Mar 2017, p.30]

    In its best moments, In Between sounds both mellow and intense in ways only the Feelies can pull off.

    A delightful demonstration that sticking to your guns can be well worth it. [Mar 2017, p.95]

    Despite intimations of mortality, there’s plenty of rocking and rolling left in this house.

    The Feelies’ grip of melody remains very much in place throughout, as do their love of jangling intertwining guitars and a strict sense of rhythm.

    The band doesn't need to say much, because that message is there in the music.

    Between its moderate tempos and spartan production, In Between seems designed to turn as few heads as possible and at first even comes across a tad glum. ... With a little patience though, its sunnier side shines through. All the hallmarks of The Feelies' sound are present, but in a pleasantly subdued state.
