  1. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Carries so little flab that it really does deserve to be another worldwide smasheroo. Print edition only

  2. 7.3 |   AltSounds

    There are tracks here which can be added to the Green Day cannon, but the trouble is there’s just as many misses as there are hits

  3. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    This full-length nevertheless reaffirms Green Day is still capable of an engaging LP, and it rights the course for the ¡Uno!/¡Dos!/¡Tre! trilogy after a shaky start

  4. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    The band follows lineal threads from Dookie-era punk into all manner of overheated angst
    Read Review

  5. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    A reliably fun, garagey treat
    Read Review

  6. 6.0 |   State

    What is evident within this trilogy is the attempt to forge modern expectations with old school sensibility, even if it doesn’t always work
    Read Review

  7. 6.0 |   NME

    These albums remain too cluttered with filler to measure up against the best of the band's stuff

  8. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    There’s nothing here you haven’t heard a thousand times before and melody is an elusive butterfly forever out of reach
    Read Review

  9. 6.0 |   The Scotsman

    Individually, these tracks wouldn’t amount to much more than throwaway fun but, cumulatively, they create another very likeable melodic collection
    Read Review

  10. 6.0 |   BBC

    Middling-to-fair central act of seminal pop-punks’ 2012 album trilogy
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   Slant Magazine

    Much like its immediate predecessor, Dos suggests that the album triptych probably should've been edited into one strong album rather than spread out over multiple releases

  12. 6.0 |   Spin

    ¡Dos! has enough arresting songs to keep hope alive
    Read Review

  13. 6.0 |   Q

    The braver Green Day are, the better they are. Print edition only

  14. 5.8 |   Paste Magazine

    More-so than Uno!, the first of the band’s 2012 trilogy, Dos! bears the strain of a man—and a songwriter—crying out for help

  15. 4.2 |   A.V. Club

    The sophomore slump of a trilogy that’s shaping up to be far less fun than it was supposed to be
    Read Review

  16. 4.0 |   The Guardian

    Oddly leaden and largely witless
    Read Review

  17. 4.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    With a lack of depth, a messy focus, and a bloated sense of evolution, ¡Dos! isn’t only a forgettable sequel to a bland predecessor, but a slip down the ladder Green Day has attempted to extend for over a decade

  18. 4.0 |   The Observer

    A set that's oddly leaden and largely witless
    Read Review

  19. 4.0 |   The Irish Times

    So – one down, two down. Already, we have concerns for No 3
    Read Review

  20. 4.0 |   Tone Deaf

    After the release of Uno!, Green Day sounded more vital than they had in years. But now, they just sound tired
    Read Review

  21. 3.0 |   Sputnik Music (staff)

    It’s still not clear what Green Day hoped to achieve with all this crap

  22. 2.0 |   No Ripcord

    Why do albums like this get made?
