AllMusic senior editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine was conflicted with the album, praising the flourishes of disco-rock and funk in tracks like "Paralyzer" and "Lost My Way" but felt there wasn't enough of it in "a collection of otherwise colorless but capable by-the-book alt-rock", concluding with: "So, the variety of rhythms, along with the increasing emphasis on acoustic-based power ballads, gives Them vs. You vs. Me the greatest musical variety of any Finger Eleven record, but they remain boxed in by their good intentions: they remain a group that's too polite to dislike but too well-mannered to remember."[1] Chris Willman of Entertainment Weekly said of the band's change in musical direction throughout the record, "Mostly, though, their newfound malleability results in cravenly radio-baiting ballads like ”I’ll Keep Your Memory Vague” — a title that may also describe listeners’ reaction to this forgettable fare."[2]
