"If Good Times! is indeed a farewell, bidding adieu with a buoyant love letter to everything that made the group is a hell of a way to say goodbye. Masterminded by executive producers John Hughes and Mark Pinkus, Monkees archivist Andrew Sandoval, and producer Adam Schlesinger, Good Times! finds space for every phase the Monkees experienced in the '60s.".

"Vurdering: B-" - "You're not going to see The Monkees added to the bill of the Desert Trip Festival any time soon. Knowing that, though, we can at least appreciate what Schlesinger helped The Monkees accomplish here: reaching one last high note before their last ride into the sunset".

"Efter at være gendannet, opløst og gendannet igen kan The Monkees fejre 50-års jubilæum med deres første album i 20 år - og tilmed det bedste siden storhedstiden. Sammen med en A-liste af sangskrivere, fra Noel Gallagher og Paul Weller til Rivers Cuomo og Andy Partridge, springer de al mellemliggende udvikling over og finder tilbage til 1966 med en ubekymret poptone, der er ramt lige midt i solskiven på sange som 'You Bring the Summer', 'Me & Magdalena' og 'She Makes Me Laugh'. En lige så overraskende stærk som generøs fejring af deres fortid".
