Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
The former teen heartthrobs’ first album in almost 10 years is by no means extraordinary, but it’s a respectable showing from a group that has long deserved more respect than they got.

Vulture
A lot of charm.

Consequence of Sound
A record that makes up for its lack of pop innovation with personal emotion.

Happiness Begins careens wildly between ultra-catchy singles and mood-halting guitar ballads.

Go into this with low expectations, and you’ll come out of it pleasantly surprised but then you’ll forget you ever even listened to it.

If you’re a devotee of the brothers, you’ll probably get more of a kick out of it, and good for you. Otherwise, you’re not missing much.

Today's Pop Music
All in all, it’s an album with a diverse number of songs, some are sonically more pleasant than others but I think we’re all just glad to have new music by our favorite three brothers.

Thomas Bleach
The material on this record is very reminiscent of some of the later stuff that One Direction were putting out and it’s nice having a strong boyband back in the world delivering some killer tunes.
-
Vinyl Boys
Happiness Begins is a great album especially for a returning album.
-
Popdust
Summarily, it's an unremarkable, safe collection of tracks obviously written by the churning machine of the music industry for use by the highest bidder. But that's all it needed to be.
-

On Happiness Begins, they’re so much sillier, warmer, more arrogant, more enthusiastic, delighted with themselves and each other.
