RollingStone
On Infinity on High, they expose the secret life of boys, in hilariously bloodcurdling detail.

NME
It’s bye bye emo, hello big time as scene stalwarts broaden their horizons.

Infinity On High is good enough that Fall Out Boy have no reason to feel threatened. /5

AV Music
FOB could've cut an album's worth of club hits and still found an audience.
-
Sputnik Music
Fall Out Boy goes for the dreaded slightly more "mature" approach with this album, incorporating many more influences than in their previous efforts.
-
Common Sense Media
Infinity on High shows off lead singer Patrick Stump's strong and soulful vocals; while the band's sound continues to get bigger and bolder.
-
The New York Times
Instead of gloating about success, the band stays wary about show business and its own status as a commodity.
-
Plugged In
Despite a keen observation or two, it's a downer lacking perspective.
-
Punk News
Fall Out Boy should take a cue and realize no one should take themselves this seriously.
-
All Music
Fall Out Boy may hate people who "dissect us 'til this doesn't mean a thing anymore," but in trying to appeal to all of them, they lost something unique along the way.
-
Odyssey
“Infinity On High” showcased Fall Out Boy’s ability to create a top notch album.
-
It's All Dead
Fall Out Boy are still the undisputed champions of a short-lived arms race.
-
Under the Rockies
Long live Infinity on High, and long live the car crash hearts.

IGN
They do an excellent job of taking full advantage of what they do well as a band.
-
Mind Equals Blown
Wentz wrote what is debatably Fall Out Boy’s best record.
-
The Edge
Most commercially and critically successful album in their lengthy discography and takes much of the responsibility for the era’s definition.
-
The Young Folks
They were able to experiment and incorporate new influences without losing their core sound.
-
Chorus.fm
Each listen causing a tapping of toes and a return to that feeling of being young and playing a catchy song as loud as possible.
-
Rock Music Review
I had a hard time listening to the remainder of the album which turns out to be a mix of cheesy ballads and over-produced sure-fire radio hits.
-
Cryptic Rock
Fall Out Boy continue to produce quality, intelligent lyrics and infectious melodies that are never easy to forget.
-
Entertainment
FOB’s guitars still blare, and Stump has evolved into a superb frontman, with a voice that slides supplely from a bratty punk bark into a honeyed falsetto.
-
The Guardian
Punk-pop with a hint of the Backstreet Boys? It can be done.
-
Contact Music
A record which initially promises so much descends to being strictly average.
-
Lincoln Journal Star
“Infinity on High” is pleasantly surprising but a little bipolar, which is understandable.
-
Alternative Addiction
There’s a lot that some people say is missing with Fall Out Boy, but they’re still a good band and this is still a good album.
-
Scene Point Blank
Proving that they have the ability to write something that is, in my mind, worthwhile.
