Pitchfork
The long-running jam band’s ninth album centers on hard-earned optimism but smooths out much of what makes Dave Matthews’ music engaging.

NY Times
For Dave Matthews, “dad rock” isn’t a put-down. “Come Tomorrow,” the ninth studio album by the Dave Matthews Band and its first since 2012, earnestly embraces fatherhood, commitment, lifelong romance and hope for the next generations.

Come Tomorrow is not my least favorite Dave Matthews Band album: For me, 2001's oil-slick Everyday and 2005's clumsily funky Stand Up remain the most painful listens, the efforts of a maturing band desperately searching to match its outsized onstage earnings with a new radio hit. But it does feel like the group's most hollow and frustrating effort, a record with so little to offer that it leaves 35-year-old me wondering if the teenaged me was simply duped. On its middling '00s records, when the musicians seemed at a loss for how to sound in the new millennium, the solution was to mix songs that championed social justice with the feel-good stuff that made them famous. So where had the band that once seemed so fearless — for better and worse, often in the course of a single tune — gone?

The album is remarkably cohesive, representing a moody shift away from the settled sunniness of Away from the World.

Spill Magazine
To be fair, it is perhaps easy to judge this album harshly as it is so very similar to all that has preceded it in the DMB discography. True to form, the album is filled with tunes that would fit just about anywhere in that catalogue of music, but at the same time there are also some real standout tunes. Though breaking their own mould of success may be outside their comfort zone, this is a band of unquestionable ability and songs like “She”, “Virginia in the Rain” and “Come On, Come On” immediately standout.

Dave Matthews has undoubtedly left his mark on kids and adolescents of the nineties (not me, I was busy jamming that underground punk and poorly produced Scandinavian metal). He inspired myriad of yougsters to pick up a guitar a play those three chords that qualify as rock. Now he is back, or rather everpresently reappearing, with a new and unexpectedly fresh album.

The Musical Hype
Following a six-year hiatus, popular, eclectic rock band Dave Matthews Band, comes back in top-notch form on ‘Come Tomorrow.’

LoudSound Magazine
Overall, Come Tomorrow is a sane and vulnerable album. No outlandish statements are made and much of the material comes across as organic and synced. Per usual, Rashawn, Stefan, Carter, and the rest of the gang play it tight, play it right, and create beauty within the elation of sheer musicianship. There are no auto-tunes or computerized gimmicks of enhancement. Come Tomorrow is just a bunch of gifted artists making simple themed jams in a world looking to save itself, from itself.

Immortal Reviews
Dave Matthews Band keep it close to home in Come Tomorrow, a raw effort that sees Matthews draw upon the past to look hopefully into the future. It's full of jams, memories, and nostalgia, and that's a combination that never goes wrong.

Renowned For Sound
As a studio record, Come Tomorrow is well produced if lacking in any really engaging songs for those new to Dave Matthews Band. But its purpose isn’t to bring new fans to the fold. Rather it is an album intended to serve the fervent fan base and showcase songs that will – or already had – feature in the group’s concerts.

Relix
Come Tomorrow is a fiery course-correction, full of vigor, funk, absurdity and poignancy—the singular mix that makes this band so unique to begin with.
