Critic Reviews
Show All-
RollingStone
there’s nothing as rhythmically profound as “My Love” here. But there’s more meaty-beaty dynamite.

BBC
Well done guys, this is one smart move.
-
SLANT
Maroon 5 hasn’t lost its mojo.
-
sputnik music
a sophomore record that equals its breakout predecessor, and sometimes surpasses it.
-
Entertainment
a fast-moving collection of fizzy but entertaining come-ons, get-offs, breakups, and makeups.
-
ALL MUSIC
the production is so immaculate that it glistens.

common sense media
Lyrics are a bit more sexual than band's first CD.
-

All heartache all the time. Maroon 5 specializes in articulating pain and, to a lesser degree, sexual frustration.

IGN
Blue eyed funk for suburban hotties.
-

Maroon 5 is freaky charming.

Alternative Addiction
this new album cements them as a household name and one of the world’s elite bands.

Maroon 5 are a breath of musical fresh air, a band whose radio-friendly tunes provide a pleasant soundtrack for the drive home.
-
This Must Be Pop
more light-hearted and very commercial .
-
SCENE
There's nothing wrong with making music for tweens or lighter-lofting boomers.
-
Boston Globe
Levine sometimes confuses graphic with sensual and relies far too heavily on knee-jerk rhyme schemes and generic romantic scenarios.
-
INDEPENDENT
the band attempt to re-define themselves as camp falsetto popsters
-
The Record
This is great music, the kind that can be played over and over again.
