Pretty Much Amazing
One of best offerings of the year, but may only appeal to fans of that genre.

Washington Post
Rule breaking is akin to eating candy. It's great at times, but gorge and you'll feel sick and crave something nutritious. Fortunately, fun. feeds both parts of our musical appetites.
-
Pop Matters
Aim and Ignite lands somewhere between Queen, the Mars Volta, and the soundtrack from Hairspray, and so is pretty original to say the least. Unfortunately, it drowns under its own weight.

Sputnik Music
Aim and Ignite is a a superbly mixed and arranged pop album.

All Music
It's progressive, but in the best possible way.

Pajiba
It's frothy and bubbly and tickles the ear with playful melodies, honest lyrics, soaring crescendos and a general good-time attitude. Nate Ruess has finally found his happy place, and he is absolutely unafraid in declaring it.

Mind Equals Blown
While the major focus is love, each song takes a different perspective on each very different situation, to not make the major theme over bearing throughout.

As a whole, the album feels like a weekend with good friends in a trendy, bohemian neighborhood.

Never Enough Notes
At first listen ‘Aim and Ignite’ is an album that is an urgent, overwhelming, spiralling, unbridled joy like a roundabout going round and round that blurs your view, but it's a grower.
-
Noon Radio
It’s anthemic, epic, and all around enjoyable.
-
Music Vice
From the start I can tell pretty quickly that this record is not for me at all. It’s as though the guy who went to theatre club wrote this: the songs are very dramatic, flamboyant and get just a bit too Meatloaf at times.

Indie London
Aim & Ignite is a blast… and chock full of the type of offerings that should make it onto the Glee cast cover list some time real soon!

Fulcrum
Although Aim and Ignite is undoubtedly an indie pop album, it has a unique sound that differentiates itself from other pop music.
