[3] The album received reviews by Idolator,[4] AbsolutePunk, Alter The Press,[5] AltSounds who said, "Since the success of their 2008 EP, The Narrative have been touring the country and gaining a dedicated following.

We have a feeling they could easily fit in with Pete Wentz's band of merry misfits on his Decaydance label, or score a sweet spot on an Alice In Wonderland-type soundtrack if given the chance."

Alternative Press wrote, "The Narrative is a bit lengthy (eight tracks are more than four minutes long), the craftsmanship the trio took into creating the album is evident.

"[11] Jesse Richmanc from PropertyOfZack wrote, "2010 has been a rough year for fans of melodic pop-rock with scene luminaries like Lydia, Mae and Copeland all taking their farewell bows.

New York trio The Narrative have rushed in to fill the void with their self-titled debut LP, a boldly confident album full of sparkling hooks and stunningly articulate emotional depth.

With nary a dud track in the record's fifty engrossing minutes, co-founders/songwriters Jesse Gabriel and Suzie Zeldin have crafted one of the best albums of the year.

[12] Alter the Press wrote Long Island, New York trio the Narrative have been making subtle waves on several websites for the past few months and with their self-titled full-length, it's likely you could hear more from them, as it's a record that is filled with depth, variation and there are moments where the band sound extraordinary good.
