Their most diverse album yet.
-
All Music
Their songwriting shows growth, their vocals remain flawless, the production team continues to throw the occasional curveball to go along with the softballs, and there are plenty of songs that sound like the best pop music has to offer in 2015.

Instead, it's a solid pop album – regardless of whether it's a full stop or a comma in the career of one of music history's biggest boybands.

Under the Gun
If this is the end, then at least One Direction have left us with a collection of largely incredible songs that will spark good times and sing-a-longs for years to come.
-
Insanity Radio
I can recommend everyone who can appreciate mainstream pop music to listen to Made in the A.M., as none of their albums has been as good or as experimental before

Stitched Sound
With serious lyrics and a mature sound, it can only be hoped that after this break of theirs, they will return to the music scene with this newfound style and continue their journey as the biggest boyband in the world.

I find the album not only reflects their growth musically, but their growth as individuals and as a worldwide brand.

-
Entertainment Focus
Made in the A.M. shows that One Direction still have legs even without one of their founding members.
-
Detroit News
Should this be their swan song, they leave on a high note.
-
BreatheHeavy
One Direction’s songwriting is already their strongest creative trait, and biggest advantage compared to past boy bands, so writing informed by a life actually lived outside of fame should make for an amazing sixth album.
-
Renowned for Sound
This is the final album before the band goes on hiatus and they made sure it’s an accurate representation of the band today and not whom they were when they began.
-
Varsity
Worldwide success story One Direction produce a few more ballads in their fifth album.

Thomas Bleach
“Made In The A.M” sees them tackling an improved musical direction that has a strong 90’s pop rock influence and I’m LOVING it.
-
The Hoya
“Made in the A.M.” isn’t meant to change the world, but it definitely puts to shame any critic who says the boys’ music has not matured in the past five years.
-
Danie Roberts
Made in the A.M. has it all. Love, heartbreak, growing up, solid vocals, and fun. This is a great album that really showcases what the band has done in the past five years and will send them off to their break in fashion.
