Critical reception
Someday Everything Will Be Fine was met with "universal acclaim" reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 81 based on 7 reviews.[5] Aggregator Album of the Year gave the release a 75 out of 100 based on a critical consensus of 6 reviews.[2]
Mark Deming of AllMusic noted how the band sounded a "little less punk and a bit more rock" on the release, while explaining the album "is an object lesson in how maturity and progress don't have to be the enemies of snarky, passionate rock & roll, and this is music that satisfies on several levels at once."[3] Barry Vitus from Blurt gave the release five out of five stars, explaining that it "injected a new, creative energy into the band. The chemistry imbued by the helping hands and producer were significant to the end product."[1] Writer Michael Hann of The Guardian gave the album four out of five stars, noting "their fifth album sound more of-the-moment than the previous four, not least because its opening track, Reckless, perfectly embodies that heavy, heavy slacker sound."[7]
