  1. 8.3 |   A.V. Club

  2. 8.0 |   All Music

    Few songwriters can capture the bleak comedy of loneliness, bitterness, and the sheer helplessness that accompanies aging better than Merritt, and he does so here with great aplomb

  3. 7.0 |   Uncut

    His capacity for slightly sozzled soliloquies knows no bounds. Print edition only

  4. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    On the one hand, Partygoing is refreshingly in sync with the group’s first two albums. On the other, each feels like its own concept album of sorts

  7. 5.0 |   Rolling Stone
