"A torrent of spew-inducing self-pity ... Here are filthy-rich men complaining about the problems of being filthy rich. They neg women in one song (Side Effects) and act like sensitive bros for knowing what negging is on another (Hope). They make suspect references to "red pill" culture. Amid this disingenuous dross, the mercifully wordless EDM bombast strikes the most honest note. They have everything they could ever want; may sympathy continue to elude them".

"Compared to their 2017 official debut, the Chainsmokers' sophomore album, Sick Boy, is more introspective, thoughtful, and emotional. It's also a vast improvement on the often precious (and, frankly, boring) EDM-pop of Memories...Do Not Open ... At the heart of it all, this set is dark, sometimes exciting, and a step in the right direction for the immensely popular but critically maligned duo. World-weariness and a troubled heart suit them well and managed to do some good on Sick Boy".
