Critical reception[]
One of Us received mostly positive reviews. Giving the album 7/10, William Goodman of Spin declares "All 13 kaleidoscopic tracks, particularly standout 'Anywhere You Go,' a supercollider of rhythmic groove, guitar, and Wurlitzer organ, distill a decade-plus of indie and alt rock into a sparking art-pop swell. Spazzing out, Joey Cook cries: 'I really like you!' The feeling's mutual."[1] Filter's Kurt Orzeck gives the album 85% and touts they perform "with a masterful ease, smoothly maneuvering from oversize spectacle to small-scale minimalism. It’ll reel you in with authority—and you’ll beg, 'Please don’t let me go.'”[2] In a less favorable review, Dylan Nelson of PopMatters gives the album 5/10 and says "the album’s uptempo polish invigorates the band’s sound but ultimately fails to mesh with its wistful tendencies."[3]
