    It's uplifting stuff. [Mar 2015, p.104]

    The most electric and exuberant record he’s made since ‘Up The Bracket’.

    This feels like a placeholder for the forthcoming Libertines album, but, as placeholders go, it’s a stormer.

    et It Reign's appealing mix of nostalgia and vitality proves that Barât can not just survive, but thrive outside of the confines of his other, storied band.

    It’s an affair that is much more snarling and punkish than solemn and introspective and one that appears to have been a good representation of what he had in mind.

    It's the slower, more "mature" tracks that disappoint here.... Still there's plenty to like on Let It Reign for Libertines fans missing that garage rock sound.

    A solid rock album that plays like the history of Great Britain's contributions to rock 'n' roll. [Mar 2015, p.92]

    There's still enough of the Libertines' Arcadian ideal across tracks like "Summer in the Trenches" and the title track to hold old fans firm, but unlike Dirty Pretty Things, Barat's initial post-Libs' effort, he may have finally given the Albion his personal touch.
