A.V. CLUB

A Different Kind Of Truth matters because it’s a reminder of why this band mattered.

CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND

A Different Kind of Truth offers the same youthful escape that sold the band to millions worldwide over 30 years ago.

SPIN

It's not perfect — it's too long by a third, David Lee Roth often sounds like a 2 A.M. drunk doing David Lee Roth at karaoke, and a Kinks cover wouldn't have killed them.

NME

For an album that you might think is merely an excuse for a megabucks world tour, it sure does, er, wail.

POPMATTERS

As an album, A Different Kind of Truth is a case of looking back without taking the time to glance forward.
