Re-Arrange Us is the fifth studio album by American indie pop duo Mates of State.
[2] Chris Parker of Alternative Press wrote: Gardner and drummer Jason Hammel discover a prettier, fuller-bodied sound and enrich it with other instruments, such as strings on the inviting opener, 'Get Better'".
[3] Spencer Kornhaber of Spin concluded: "adorned with piano and synth, the ten songs on Re-Arrange Us are fuller, more elegant vessels for the duo's warm, intricate melodies".
[8] In mixed reviews, Adam Moerder of Pitchfork stated: "unfortunately there aren't a lot of opportunities to get caught in that lovely crossfire on Re-Arrange Us, a record that, for all its lush bells and whistles, finds the pair sounding as bare-boned and sparse as you'd expect a two-person band to be".
[5] Mike Mineo of PopMatters wrote: "despite some worthwhile moments in efforts like 'The Re-Arranger', 'My Only Offer', and the serenely infectious 'You Are Free', the biggest fault in Re-Arrange Us lies in the duo's inability this time around to capitalize upon original ideas that have been presented but not built upon".
