MarkApr 14, 2006I love this band, but Pitchfork has it right, this one is lacking the melodies of past albums

AaronQApr 28, 2006Not much better than "Ancient Melodies of the Future." If it's even better at all is still up for question.

Entertainment WeeklyMore enjoyably organic-sounding than most of 2001's too pristine Ancient Melodies of the Future. [14 Apr 2006, p.86]
-
A record that progresses as a sequence of dislocated sounds, an expressionist's puzzlebox that comes alive when distanced from one's preconceived notion of what a Built to Spill record should sound like.

Though there are no great surprises on You in Reverse, it is one of Built to Spill's strongest efforts, and anyone who has followed their career knows that this is high praise indeed.
