UncutThe Libertines is a record of such raw autobiographical honesty that it carries a weight few others in 2004 can match. [Album of the Month, Sep 2004, p.94]

New Musical Express (NME)What you have here is the most agonisingly voyeuristic listening experience in rock, ever. It's also some of the most exhilarating and brilliant rock'n'roll of the past 20 years. [7 Aug 2004, p.46]

Q MagazineThis record... is brimming with character, easily surpassing their debut, its energy level like a battery charge. [Sep 2004, p.108]

Raw and emotional.

Rolling StoneNo band in recent history has better captured the vertiginous experience of falling apart and loving it. [16 Sep 2004, p.79]

PopMattersReview #1: Despite the fact that the new album is, yet again, a half-assed effort, The Libertines is nonetheless a thoroughly fascinating one to hear. [score=60]; Review #2: There is not a weak moment on this album. [score=80]

From the very start, The Libertines is the sound of the band at its most muzzled; paralysed by poor production, underdeveloped songs and private lives that have become more sensational and noteworthy than the music.
