"Best Coast spent years chasing highs and documenting the lows with impressive, if often prosaic, frankness. And though they've finally found the optimism to match their sun-washed disposition, it's Cosentino's musicianship and knack for melody that prevents these songs from turning to fluff. Still, the record often slips into performative positivity; worthy ideas about overcoming challenges are subsumed by her rosy outlook. Despite the sheen of self-reflection, Always Tomorrow feels designed to convince everyone else as much as herself".
