  1. 10.0 |   musicOMH

    The quality of Toledo’s songs is gobsmacking; the lyrics are enthralling, the melodies are to die for, the musicianship is raw yet brilliant

  2. 9.1 |   A.V. Club

    Those familiar with Toledo’s back catalog will marvel at the reworking of their favorite tracks, while the uninitiated will likely discover a bright young talent and wonder how the hell they’ve been missing out

  3. 8.8 |   Earbuddy

    An ideal entry point into one of the Internet's best songwriters

  4. 8.1 |   Pitchfork

    An album that's bookish, but not sedentary

  5. 8.0 |   Rolling Stone

    It's the best classic-rock record anyone under 50 is likely to make this year.

  6. 8.0 |   Clash

    Even the quietest moments carry with them a sense that Toledo is using every bit of his considerable talent to maintain some kind of holy balance between scuzz and sublimity, effortless melodicism and fractured surfaces

  7. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Will Toledo's prime time debut serves as both a primer and a victory lap

  8. 6.7 |   Consequence Of Sound

    The early 20s are a weird time in anyone’s life, a kind of purgatorial state that seems made for mistakes and experimentation. Teens of Style has plenty of both, but it’s somehow all the more charming for it

  9. 6.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    While retaining links with Toledo's DIY past, much of the tracks bleed in to one another, making stand-out moments such as "The Drum" and "Times To Die" fall flatter than they deserve

  10. 5.5 |   Under The Radar

    Put simply, these are effective and fun indie rock tunes that are almost ruined by overbearing "lo-fi" production
