    It's a painfully boring and unoriginal album. The guitar production is incredibly flat and uninteresting, and the singing is all too often lackluster.

    There's only one truly good, memorable song on the entire record: Spell It Out, which is a nice little ballad against victim complexes in which the instrumentation actually sounds full and good.

    Other than that though, the album is really hard to get through.

    There’s some nice power to be found here and there, especially for fans of borderline emo music from the 2000’s, but with the lack of any great melodic hooks, there’s nothing too memorable or noteworthy. My Score: 104/180 (Okay) = 5.8/10

    A pop-inflected "rock" record that hits all the marks an alternative pop rock band like You Me At Six should hit, without any experimentation or deviation from proven method.

    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]

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

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