  1. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    While its closing moments provide some of the best of the band’s career, it looks like the album’s titular question will continue to be pondered for some time yet

  2. 6.0 |   Spin

    Incubus fully embrace surf-bum balladry

  3. 6.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    The album will sell because of who they are, and the tracks will remain enjoyable because they sound good

  4. 5.0 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    Oh dear. Just as surely as Coldplay did, just as surely as Kings of Leon did, and just as surely as Audioslave did for a couple of singles, Incubus have turned into U2

  5. 5.0 |   Slant Magazine

    If Not Now, When? is frustrating in many ways, chiefly because it feels like a step in the wrong direction for a band that can still pen enthralling tunes

  9. 4.0 |   Entertainment.ie

    Boyd seems to have styled his vocal performances on this album as if he was auditioning on American Idol

  10. 3.0 |   No Ripcord

    Brandon Boyd seems to have taken control of Incubus’ musical direction and put himself even more centre-stage. Too many songs are simply a vehicle for him pushing his voice to its limits, and little else

  11. 1.8 |   Beats Per Minute

    The passion that used to drive their music was once furious, but is now soppy and infinitely uninteresting
