"As Widowspeak return to sounds from their past, they also add new ones, such as the flutes that add an extra witchiness to "Right On" or the smoky, seductive, '60s psych of one of the album's standouts, "Warmer." Here and on the album's bookends -- the golden, bittersweet opener "The Dream" and the seven-minute finale "Fly on the Wall" - Widowspeak are subtle and epic at the same time, building to crescendos that engulf listeners before they realize it. A late-summer bonfire of an album, Expect the Best proves once again that when it comes to hazy introspection and reflection, few bands are better at it than Widowspeak".

"After three full length albums of alt-country with all of the seams exposed, Widowspeak are now going the full Mazzy Star, leaning into the dream pop world with Expect the Best. If that sounds like a copout to passé surf rock trends, Expect the Best stands out amongst other reverb-drenched indie rock for being exceptionally well composed".
