Rolling Stone
The eclectic jazz-pop group are oddballs in the best sense.

Lake Street Dive really doesn’t miss a single beat on this record. That might feel like a redundant observation to point out; the band is known for their conservatory-grade performances. Everyone knows their strengths, and they do not shy back from showcasing them. From killer instrumentation to clever lyrics, this album has it all.

Obviously sustains a buzz of solid songwriting, varied instrumentation, and beautiful singing. The grooves feel excellent, and the melodies are delivered in a relaxed and sensual manner. Obviously is a wedded bliss of adventurous styles combined to be very digestible and infectious.

Lake Street Dive can make happy songs about sad things and sad songs about happy things. More than anything, this shows their ability to bend music at will and put forth the exact type of album that they wanted to in Obviously.

AllMusic
Having started out as a genre-bending indie outfit, Boston's Lake Street Dive have matured into sophisticated purveyors of vintage-inspired soul, funk, and adult contemporary pop. It's a sound that helped make 2018's Free Yourself Up such a delightful surprise, and one which they further perfect on their seventh album, 2021's thoughtfully ebullient Obviously.
