  1. 8.0 |   Q

    The songs almost all bite and snap. Print edition only

    Mission epically accomplished
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   FasterLouder

    As far as indie rock bands go, Cold War Kids are one of the best around at the moment and Mine Is Yours means that so far they are three for three excellent records

  4. 7.0 |   Rave Magazine

    These four (older) kids are still all right
    Read Review

  5. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    A record which is a lot easier going on the ears than previous excursions
    Read Review

  6. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Neatly positioning them as the soulful answer to Kings Of Leon. Print edition only

  7. 6.0 |   Uncut

    The sound of a band itching to make their breakthrough. Print edition only

  8. 6.0 |   BBC

    An unremarkable middle ground somewhere between their bluesy, abrasive tendencies and the kind of staidly proficient indie-rock that surely wasn’t part of the plan to begin with
    Read Review

  9. 6.0 |   Blurt

    A fair release that deserves several listens
    Read Review

  10. 6.0 |   AU Review

    The songwriting is still of the expected standard but with the strengths of their erstwhile forceful front-man not utilised, the record fails to make an impression for prolonged periods

  11. 5.0 |   Rolling Stone

    It's as if CWK, once a sharp band with retro leanings, have been gorging on Springsteen and Kings of Leon
    Read Review

  12. 5.0 |   BBC

    Occupies an unremarkable middle ground somewhere between their bluesy, abrasive tendencies and the kind of staidly proficient indie-rock that surely wasn’t part of the plan to begin with
    Read Review

  13. 5.0 |   Spin

    A couple of songs succeed on their own terms, like "Finally Begin" -- destined for a rom-com trailer -- but most float unmemorably down the highway of not-quite-modern rock
    Read Review

  14. 4.0 |   Slant Magazine

    Decidedly blander and much less visceral than previous efforts, the album is another step in the band's inexplicable march toward playing it straight and safe
    Read Review

  15. 4.0 |   The Fly

    The majority of this record just sounds like a slightly rockier version of The Script
    Read Review

  16. 4.0 |   State

    Falls short of its epic ambitions
    Read Review

  17. 4.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    If success is defined as trading originality for accessibility, Mine is Yours is a great success
    Read Review

  18. 4.0 |   Under The Radar

    These particular clothes don’t suit Cold War Kids as well as their scruffier past
    Read Review

  19. 4.0 |   PopMatters

    Finds the band scrubbing away all traces of idiosyncrasy
    Read Review

  20. 3.9 |   Pitchfork

    Ultimately exhausts itself trying to convince you it's not as empty as it actually is
    Read Review

  21. 3.3 |   A.V. Club

    The bland sound of a band trading identity for ambition

  22. 3.0 |   NME

    You can keep it
