  1. 8.0 |   All Music

    Their trademark sound remains a thing of wonder that hasn't been dimmed a bit by the passage of time

  2. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    The fact that the band is back doing the same things it did best before is a good reason for celebration

  3. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    Its distinctly pastoral feeling is tempered with a slight nervousness and tension, the sound of the city meeting the countryside. It's gorgeous

  4. 7.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    A comforting hug of a record, a surprise visit from an old friend and above all, a great album
    Read Review

  5. 7.5 |   Pitchfork

    Exudes the casual grace of old friends who greatly enjoy playing together and have long stopped caring about proving themselves to anyone
    Read Review

  6. 7.5 |   A.V. Club

    It’s enjoyable more for its sound than for what the band does with it. But damn, what a sound

    They remain instantly, timelessly recognizable

  8. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    The Feelies' music remains a template of formal perfection
    Read Review

  9. 7.0 |   Bowlegs

  10. 7.0 |   No Ripcord

    If this is their last hurrah, The Feelies are going out strong
    Read Review

  11. 7.0 |   FasterLouder

    Here Before is a very good album, and much better than anyone had the right to expect from a reunion album
    Read Review

  12. 6.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Here Before is merely the sound of indie-rock’s elder statesmen having a nice cuppa
    Read Review

  13. 6.0 |   Mojo

    They've been here before, but it's never too late for The Feelies. Print edition only

  14. 6.0 |   Blurt

    The Feelies do what they do best, and if that means a record with few surprises, it also means a level of consistency

  15. 6.0 |   Q

    Janglingly tuneful, layered indie-pop. Print edition only

  16. 4.0 |   Uncut

    Largely composed of pretty humdrum strum and twang. Print edition only
