Sep 13, 2011It's probably the most honest collection yet. [Oct 2011, p.109]

Sep 13, 2011It may not supplant Through Being Cool or Stay What You Are as your favorite Saves The Day album, but you can safely put it in the upper echelon of their discography.

Sep 30, 2011Daybreak is successful on two levels: in the way it touches on the best elements of Saves the Day's past works, it's a welcome entry point for new listeners; and with its freshness, it assures established fans that the band is still invigorated after going at it for over a decade.
-
Sep 20, 2011The album's extended title track take the catchier parts of their newer material (vocalist Chris Conley's infamous Beatles influences seem to mesh much better with their punk rock sound here), and then deliver it so tightly and concisely that it would be a total waste to rehash their glory days.

Kerrang!Oct 25, 2011A five year pop-rock trilogy concludes in audacious style. [Sep 2011, p.52]
