Fitz and the Tantrums received mixed reviews from critics.

[2] Isaac Feldberg from the Boston Globe calls it the band's "glossiest record yet", with a "brassy, retro-glam aesthetic with a commercial-minded agenda", going on to say, "on ballads (...) the band sounds more lost, mired in lackluster lyrics and mundane melodies."

The 405 gave it a score of 20/100 and wrote, "Each and every track on this album is so jam-packed with garbage pop flourishes that it can get exhausting.

"[9] All tracks are written by Michael Fitzpatrick, Noelle Scaggs, James King, Jeremy Ruzumna, Joseph Karnes, and John Wicks.
