Critic Reviews
Show All-
BBC
the rude guitar sleaze of Hands All Over, or the cocky glam-stomp in Stutter’s verses show a band who are really at their best when they play pop music like the sleazy rockers they clearly are. In Adam Levine’s mind, at least.
-
RollingStone
Levine and crew could be blue-eyed-soul godheads, the 21st-century Hall and Oates. But they need to loosen up first.
-
Los Angeles Times
Mutt Lange successfully pushes Maroon 5’s music to newly glossy heights.
-
NOW
It's an accomplished record for singer Adam Levine and his faceless group, even if the whole affair sometimes sounds clinical in its approach.
-
Boston Globe
Really this is lead singer Adam Levine's show.
-
Entertainment
Hands, competent and studio-sleek as it is, too often begs for a fresher muse.
-
SLANT
Hands All Over won't fulfill Levine's ambition to redefine Maroon 5's identity.
-
The Guardian
So jaunty funk-pop and blustery arena balladry remain the order of the day.
-
sputnik music
Maroon 5 delivers another solid collection of songs about love, lust, and heartbreak.
-
ALL MUSIC
stripping their rock to the bare minimum, giving every song, even the power ballads, an immaculate tight groove.
-
INDEPENDENT
basically, strip away everything, get them to write better songs, and start from scratch.

Hands All Over may throw some longtime fans of Maroon 5 for a loop because of how different the sound is from the band's previous two albums.
-
IGN
Pop music programmed for the masses.

our hands are indeed all over this record.
-
uproxx
Maroon 5 doesn't reinvent the wheel here, but expands its musical arc just enough to make fans feel like they aren't buying a rehash of the first two albums.
-
Creative Loafing Tampa Bay
Hands All Over is filled with heavy basslines, propulsive beats and distorted guitars that create a groove-oriented rhythmic foundation.
-
spin or bin
If you're a Maroon 5 fan, you'll love this album.
-
The Stanford Daily
they are still the kings of mainstream pop.
-

Lange adjusts the bands musical maturity and it is obvious throughout the album.
-
The Recorder
to me it’s more of a slow love album that you can only listen to when you’re in that mood.
-
SCENE
It's a defeated return to the middle of the road after a brief, exciting fling with muscular Prince-style rock.
-
melodic.net
the groovy and soul-filled Stevie Wonder sound still remain.
-
Kim the Fan Girl
The few songs that are standouts out weigh the one’s that are not.
-
IKEISH
The album is solid.
-
POP from the block
Hands All Over may not be the best album of 2010, but it is definitely one of the easiest to listen to.
-
This Mom's Wired
very radio-friendly, catchy, hook-filled tunes. Infectious melodies.
-
Digital News
Maroon 5 maintains the incredible vocals for which they have come to be so well-known.
-
I'm a Full Time Mummy
I'd recommend this album for those who is looking for something to brighten up their life and those who just want to dance along to some upbeat and catchy tunes.
-
Howls of the Wolf Pack
Maroon5 delivers a delicious fantastic pop-funk album perfect for listening to anywhere from in your car to in your bedroom.
-
Radio & Pop Action
it seems as if the band has delivered a collection of boring and uninspired songs which is clearly a departure from previous efforts.
-
newsday
Pure pop with wildly uneven results.
-
The Denver Post
nothing completely out of the ordinary here.
-
The Miami Hurricane
"Hands All Over” probably wasn’t worth the three-year wait.
-
cheapskate4life
the type of album I can listen to over and over.
