    Dashboards' worst entry. Heart beat here is beautiful and shines so much but it's the bland songs like the title track, be alright, about us and catch you that make it clear this was an attempt to get on the radio. The new acoustic remake albums Chris has made are eternally better than this album.

    This is Dashboard Confessional in 2018: still as charming, still as cathartic and ultimately every bit the record you want it to be.

    A largely drab album. [10 Feb 2018, p.51]

    Perhaps Carrabba still writes lyrics in broad terms, but this willingness to sculpt his sounds on the softer side indicates that he's discovered a way to sustain this allegedly adolescent music well into his adulthood.
