Pitchfork
2009 - The Help! soundtrack album is as haphazard as Beatles For Sale, but it lacks that record's glowering intensity; it's a great but confusing record.
-
BBC
2010 - Hardly their best album, but still marked by flashes of brilliance.
-
Consequence of Sound
2009 - It fills your head with more of what The Beatles had already been doing for the past four records, with a few heavy gems that will forever be part of their best recordings.

Like almost everything that the Beatles did from this record on, it's not merely good, but groundbreaking.

Alt Rock Chick
It’s the death of Beatlemania and the birth of something that would have been beyond anyone’s imagination in 1965.
