    Throughout, these songs depict human connection in all its messy glory, making the case that the glory is worth the mess.

    Part of the fun of listening to How Do You Love? is following the narrative that unfolds throughout, as so much of the album’s smartness lies within the precise evolution that occurs from one track to the other. Unfortunately, though, it is impossible to alert the world that the album is perhaps best listened to in order the first time around.

    With Sparse arrangements and songs that are never less than smart, How Do You Love? is an album for lovers than fighters and for anyone with a little romance in their heart, this is a doozy. [17 Aug 2019, p.55]

    Maybe the group loses some of the kinetic kick that made Feel Your Feelings Fool! such a gas, but How Do You Love? proves that Night and the Regrettes have figured out how to turn ebullient punk-pop into a sustainable source of energy.

    Overall, the songs on record two are smarter, punchier and catchier than the ones the first time around. How Do You Love? is summer pop punk at its finest, music that can no doubt soundtrack the rest of your summer.

    Passionate vocals and gritty guitar-driven melodies brings the album to life, reminding us of the reason the band have been successfully taking the industry by storm.

    Despite a few musical shortcomings, How Do You Love is an ambitious project for 18-year-old Night, and one she largely succeeds on. It’s a surprisingly deep understanding of the complexities and contradictions of relationships without ever falling into the clichés of depicting a young romance while those feelings are still extremely present.

Although I like most of the songs from their first album better as individual songs (I love punk.); I like this album better than the former. The album is much more cohesive and refined; and awesome to listen to as a whole. I've seen people complaining that they wanted another punk album, rather than the more alternative rock/pop punk direction this one took; and it's fine if they prefer that; however, I think it's not fair to judge the album based on what you wanted it to be. I wanted another punk album; but the band don't owe me that just because I want it. They can put out whatever they want; and if you don't like it, just don't listen to it.… Full Review »

Lyrically it's kind of bland too, no hooks or choruses here that I really see myself getting stuck in my head. Not really fond of this one on the whole.… Full Review »
