The Reflector
In my opinion the album’s final song, “Guitar Romantic Search Adventure,” is a perfect way to end this album. The group slows it down for this song as it tells a new chapter of their story. The song describes a new period in someone’s life who is no longer getting over or learning how to live without someone, and instead learning all about someone new. The ending of this album points towards a potential new era of their music where they are writing and telling the story of this new love.

PopMatters
In their reverence for the band that came before them, Wallows portray themselves as unlikely survivors of this crash: the video’s absurdism emotionally anchors it for the viewer. Wallows don’t pretend to think they do justice to the band they pay tribute to. Instead, their playful nostalgia indicates that life goes on for them. It’s often the rest of the world that is wallowing. Minette told Zane Lowe he likes to bait negative reviews with album titles: Nothing Happens, Tell Me That It’s Over. The band’s name could serve the same purpose: Wallows. But for a band called Wallows, it doesn’t seem like they’ll be staying in the same place for very long.

Collegiate Times
The confidence the band exudes now comes across in their music, and the final product has lived up to the hype. This album is the perfect indie and alternative album to start this spring and has potential for some real longevity.

Paste Magazine
Throughout the LP, Wallows show an ease in incorporating unexpected sonic textures and multi-genre influences while still remaining immediately recognizable, accomplishing what every band must hope to achieve on their sophomore album. Taking on Ariel Rechtshaid (Vampire Weekend, Haim, Adele) as the album’s producer was a winning move in cementing the band’s place as one of the biggest names on the indie scene today.

DIY Magazine
A superlative ode to vulnerability.

Clash Magazine
Wallows are at their sunshine best on tracks like ‘Marvelous’ and ‘I Don’t Wanna Talk’, bouncy bright tracks which hold clear influences from Tame Impala, Vampire Weekend, Mac DeMarco and the likes. Yet it’s not all vim and vigor; contrast those peaks with the orchestral lull of ‘That’s What I Get’, for example. While a couple of songs get a little lost in the mix - and the lyrical themes do become a little samey over time - there’s no denying that each song inspires a yearning for a sunny afternoon in front of a festival stage watching the band do what they do best.

The Breeze
“Tell Me That It’s Over” shows promising growth for Wallows.

The Edge
It’s clear that the band wanted to preserve elements of what fans love about the band’s sound while introducing some more experimental tones in tracks such as ‘At the End of the Day’ and ‘Hurts Me’. While the album, in my opinion, doesn’t quite live up to Wallows earlier successes, it definitely expands the band’s horizons and introduces some new elements to their repertoire with some standout tracks.

AllMusic
An album that's trying to move forward and ultimately relieved things are ending, Tell Me That It's Over may not find Wallows any luckier at love, but they're a little older, a little wiser, just as catchy, and more sonically adventurous.

Gigwise
Non-stop, undiluted fun.

The Indiependent
The liminal space that Wallows creates with their sound is so intoxicating that you never want it to end. The tracks seem to just wash so quickly over you that by the end, you are left begging for the band to tell you it’s not over.

The Post

Total Ntertainment
Los Angeles indie-rock band Wallows return with an album full of heartbreak, reflection and great 80s-pop inspired tunes.
