    It's an album that suggests You Me At Six are trapped between three, possibly four, different idea of who they want to be. [Mar 2017, p.115]

    It’ll sound great blaring from the car radio at rush hour, but you’ll find more darkness and complexity in Twilight fan-fic.

    Cliched rock band they might be, but the problem lies more with the fact that they used to be bloody good at it. Night People is a painfully disjointed album that shows a band at an impasse, unsure about which direction they want to go in.

    You Me at Six still seem to have little originality or depth to offer.

    There’s barely a convincing lyric in the album and by the end you’re wondering whether the title itself has been chosen based on the sheer novelty.

    What more can be said?
    The release of the title track showed us that You Me at Six were going in a different direction and maturing in a way that other rock bands will learn from. Their pop-like sounds in Night People create a modern ambiance and shows that they're not just your "generic rock band".

    All personal feelings aside, you can't NOT love this album if you were a fan since the release of their debut album, "Take Off Your Colours". They've finally achieved that raw alternative sound that so many bands strive for.    … Full Review »

Some pretty underwhelming and almost bad songs in here, but some others which are powerful, striking, and groovy. Night people, take on the world, and spell it out are all awesome songs. Others like make your move and give are good. The rest are Meh or bad to me. Definitely a worthwhile album though with some really good pieces.… Full Review »
