    A more mature and well rounded effort in comparison to their other albums, unfortunately this album lacked character and true power in the songs. Singles can be easily distinguished as the album does lack depth throughout all the songs. Nice to see them avoid punk power chords like in Take off Your Colours but still wanted more!

    Replacing buoyant guitars and boy-girl dilemmas with dark themes of religion, parenthood and death, this [album] is a bridge to grittier material, albeit that with a glittering pop-rock handrail. [Nov 2011, p. 143]

    Sinners Never Sleep is a transitional album, though such efforts rarely bode as well for the future as this does.

    One can only wonder how Sinners Never Sleep would have fared had it been more consistent. [Nov 2011, p.98]
