"For the most part, however, this is an interesting and adept reinvention for a band who had previously seemed consigned to irrelevancy. It feels rawer than their past few albums, with only the glossy pop of Detroit City sounding like an obvious attempt to revive the radio anthems of their heyday. Its chugging guitars and soaring synths recall The Killers, but its self-conscious chorus isn't quite up to the job demanded of it".
