Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
They've released nearly identical, bittersweet songs about California, sex, and, increasingly, nothing.
-
Rolling Stone
I’m With You finds a mighty band in a scary new role: underdog.
-
Ultimate Classic Rock
There's little straight-up rock to be found here; instead, soul, funk, and to a surprising degree, disco sounds feature prominently on this extremely smooth, refined album full of subtle and interesting undercurrents.
-
Loud Wire
Skipping over tracks is not really a viable option, so invest the time and listen to the album in its entirety.
-
Spin
I’m With You suggests that these uplift mofo party planners have been pondering nothing so much as their own funerals.
-
Consequence of Sound
Instrumentally, it’s one of the stronger efforts from the band, but altogether it doesn’t do enough.
-
BBC
I’m With You is a solid, decent enough 10th album, but it’s far from vital.
-
All Music
they're no longer here for a party, they're rock & roll lifers, and I'm with You illustrates they can settle into maturity convincingly.
-
Sputnik Music
it doesn’t stake any new ground or fix any old flaws, it sure doesn’t create any new ones, and it is certainly fun to listen to.
-
Paste Magazine
The most breathtaking moments on I’m With You are steeped in rhythmic gymnastics, and most of them sprout from Flea’s nimble fingers
-
Washington Post
there’s a certain innate outsize-ness to the Peppers that makes their most torpid piano ballad sound like a stadium singalong circa 1992.
-
Clash Magazine
‘I’m With You’ and its impressive spectrum of musicality proves there’s life in the old dogs yet.
-
AV Club
I’m With You shows, there’s a difference between surviving and thriving.
-
Music Feed
This album isn’t good, it’s great, going beyond expectations and critics’ judgement.
-
Slant Magazine
I’m with You is a case of an old dog learning a few new tricks.
-
American Songwriter
It’s the album’s finest marriage of words and music, a genuinely poignant moment that suggests these guys still have a lot of life in them after all.
-
Music OMH
The Chilis, on this evidence, haven’t lost what won them so many fans in the days of Californication and By The Way, but they do have a new direction in mind
-
Drowned in Sound
I doubt this record will shock, disappoint or surprise anyone.
-
Independent
I'm With You is the sound of a band staying determinedly within their comfort zones.
-
The Pop Break
There are many themes evolving around salvation in the end of beautiful lives and friendships.
-
Golden Plec
Fans should be encouraged by the bands willingness to evolve, adapt and create something fresh yet familiar
-
My Global Mind
The album is almost progressive in its nature, keeping the blend of funk and hard rock but also adding some odd time signatures
-
Mind Equals Blown
On I’m With You, the Chili Peppers have managed to create that excitement and passion that was lacking on the previous album.
-
The Round-Up
I’m With You takes elements of funk and melody and blends them together while continuing to explore a more brooding and mature sound.
-
Louisville Cardinal
It may not be exactly what you expect but it’s definitely worth listening to.
-
Beats Per Minute
All in all, the album is an above average collection for a band well past their expected use-by date; and with new blood injected into them.
-
Faronheit
Like a cat, the Red Hot Chili Peppers seem to have nine lives. Let’s keep hoping they use their last ones wisely.
-
White Church Herald
it’s a shame when an album is little more than echo of former glory.
-
Hollywood Reporter
I'm With You balance swagger and sensitivity
-
Blare Magazine
It was wise to return to the scene with a slimmer, cleaner album
