    The Long Beach ska punks have a new singer, a more melodic mellow bounce--and a lot less edge. [22 Jul 2011, p.73]

    Overall, it’s a decent summer barbecue soundtrack, but hardly vintage Sublime.

    Yours Truly doesn't quite match the caliber of the albums in the Sublime discography, but it's a fairly enjoyable spin-off just the same.

    Though Sublime With Rome's debut LP is a promising collection of summer songs, under the carefully fabricated surface, it's hollow.

    Sublime With Rome is its own creature, and Yours Truly is a very decent jam album.

    Yours Truly is based on the same assumption as Sublime With Rome, which is that fans will appreciate the superficial similarities to a band they once loved, and won't look close enough to notice the gaping holes.

    It'd be one thing if the new trio built on the band's legacy. Instead, Yours Truly regurgitates Sublime's 90s ska-punk blueprint and gussies it up with a new layer of radio-ready sheen.

    It's too forgettable to be offensive. [23 Nov 2013, p.53]

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. There's a big division in the sublime fan community as to whether to even acknowledge Sublime with Rome as being in existence, let alone if they're deserving of being a spiritual follow-up. Those people who bluntly refuse to listen to this album are missing out. Although they probably should have stopped after this album, this is a great album with our without the sublime legacy behind it. Rome as a singer and guitarist is more than capable, his youthfulness adding to the ever versatile and underrated rhythm section of Sublime. The album sounds enough like the old Sublime to be a homage without being a rip off, with the standout tracks being PCH and Papercuts.… Full Review »

    I don't know what's there not to like about this album. I stumbled upon this album without knowing much about punk rock and sublime itself. II don't know what's there not to like about this album. I stumbled upon this album without knowing much about punk rock and sublime itself. I enjoyed it immensely and absolutely have no reservations giving it 10 out 10. It was that good for me. 2011 was a pretty dull year for me and this album was for sure not one of the reasons.... :)… Full Review »

    This sloppy comeback attempt, though enjoyable at times, serves mostly as a tragic reminder that what was once a great thing, can never be again.
