    More straight-ahead and accessible than their last few between-album releases... Today is the Day is a nice, noisy complement to 1995's Camp Yo La Tengo.
  2. Almost Cool

    Just the right mixture of sonics.

    Yo La Tengo are still one of the most talented acts going, and whether they're maturing or simply cooling off these days, they're still evolving.

    Music fans of the world rejoice--Yo La Tengo can once again hear the heart beating as one.

    Whatever their motives, this return to rock and roll is a welcome one.

    The slapdash feel will remind fans of the band's early days. [30 Oct 2003, p.93]

    This handsomely eclectic collection merits inclusion as an essential addition to Yo La Tengo's richly diverse catalogue.
  9. Delusions of Adequacy
    80
    The fuzz and drone of Today is the Day is a refreshing look back at the band’s mid-90s, Painful/Electropura era.
  10. Dusted Magazine
    80
    Today is the Day ranks as an outstanding album on its own merits, but its timing is also impeccable. Arriving at the end of this year, it will hopefully silence those who have accused Yo La Tengo of sliding into mid-career pleasantness.
  11. Splendid

    Today Is the Day! is much better than most between-albums rehashes.
