  1. 9.0 |   musicOMH

    An album which stands readily among the best of their career and of the year so far

  2. 8.5 |   Spectrum Culture

    Rather than come across as a revisionist take on the band’s legacy, Good Times! instead acts as a satisfying (potential) end to one of the most popularly underappreciated bands of all time

  3. 8.0 |   Gig Soup

    This is a musical celebration, an album about what made the music of the 60’s, and indeed The Monkees, so iconic

  4. 8.0 |   Mojo

    The Monkees were made to sing Neil Diamond and here they take his Love To Love, a song they first recorded in 1967, and create a perfect pop moment

  7. 8.0 |   All Music

    Micky looks at the past not with sad reverence but with a smile, happy that he was there and happy to be able to sing about it still

  8. 8.0 |   Uncut

    A satisfying mix of revised and completed '60s recordings by original Monkees songsmiths like Boyce & Hart and Neil Diamond, with new songs by the likes of Andy Partridge, Rivers Cuomo and Adam Schlesinger. Print edition only

  9. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Monkees freaks have waited far too long for this album. But it was worth it

  10. 6.7 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Better than it needed to be, full of real heart and energy

  11. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    Let down by flat production
    Read Review

  12. 4.0 |   The Irish Times

    As a cohesive project it’s more unpleasant valley Sunday than anything else
