The album was described by Digital Spy as the "rock club-shaped soundtrack to the summer".[10]
David West of Rhythm Magazine wrote of tracks "Getaways" and "Replica" that "they rocked". He cites "Sharp riffs, great vocals, and of course the driving power that gives The Killers their lethal edge," as reasons for his positive review.
Simon Price of the British newspaper the Independent wrote, "It's much more fun than the Brandon Flowers album. Which, admittedly, isn't very big talk at all."
