  1. 8.5 |   Under The Radar

    An object lesson in how a band can expand their horizons without losing the bite that made them so compelling in the first place

  2. 8.3 |   Northern Transmissions

    The once-scrappy band has traveled the world, opened for luminaries like Death Cab for Cutie and Weezer, and dealt with the consequences of their actions. It’s safe to say they’ve wisened up. They’re not afraid to shake the table and make a mess, but Welcome to My Blue Sky does so with a refined sense of precision and intention

  3. 8.0 |   Rolling Stone

    On Welcome to My Blue Sky, they make getting lost on the highway sound like an irresistible rock & roll romance

  4. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Friedman and Weingarten’s friendship remains an ever-constant reference point in their most confessionally open offering yet, the core chemistry between the two leads pulling the disparate and shared pasts together in a unified voice

  5. 8.0 |   Dork

    By the time we reach the mournful ‘Take Me With You’ and closer ‘My Old Street’, Momma have proven they’re more than just revivalists – they’re storytellers who happen to speak fluent grunge

  6. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    Momma’s songwriting is stronger and more confident, and the production is summer-ready, begging you to put the windows down and crank it up

  7. 7.5 |   Paste Magazine

    The Brooklyn band’s third album isn’t doing anything innovative, but these “road songs” hit hard enough that originality becomes irrelevant

  8. 7.4 |   Pitchfork

    The Brooklyn alt-rock band rides a wave of guitar fuzz through songs about love, longing, and surviving your early 20s. It’s intimate without ever revealing too much

  9. 7.0 |   DIY

    A record of duality; here, yearning is part-and-parcel of purging and moving on

  10. 7.0 |   All Music

    Momma sound like the same band here, as they tweak their sound in ways that seem to reflect emotional complexity while strengthening hooks and riffs, at least on the more memorable tunes

  11. 6.0 |   Kerrang!

    Welcome To My Blue Sky is solid collection of songs that’s shot through with some truly majestic moments, but one that doesn’t quite reach its potential
