CRITIC REVIEWS

The Young Folks

Overall, Made In The A.M. has created the best direction for the band if they decide to come back for a sixth one. If not, it’s a solid last album to walk away to.

80
AllMusic

Their songwriting shows growth, their vocals remain flawless, the production team continues to throw the occasional curveball to go along with the softballs, and there are plenty of songs that sound like the best pop music has to offer in 2015.

80
Rolling Stone

Made in the A.M. is 1D’s Let It Be – the kind of record the world’s biggest pop group makes when it’s time to say thanks for the memories.

80
Billboard

With these 13 tracks — nine of which the band had a hand in writing — One Direction does maturity much better than on its last album, 2014’s ballad-heavy Four.

80
The Telegraph
A slight tone of weariness may have crept into 1D’s lyrics with songs about break-ups and yearning for home but musically it remains anthemic, up-tempo, superior pop, with elegant song structure, ear worm hooks and radio busting choruses.

A.V. Club

Made In The A.M. is One Direction’s best, most accomplished album.

Entertainment Weekly
One Direction don’t seem ready yet to explore their own more adult voices. Or maybe they’re just saving it for their solo records.
60
SPIN
For three years, One Direction have reinvested their dough in collaborators, like a corporation upgrading its supply line. Now they’re divesting, piece by piece.
60
The Guardian
The four lads were never going to bow out with experimental jazz-fusion, and this fifth LP sees them sweep between imitation indie and synthpop on stadium-ready and sweetly vacuous form. It’s just what you’d imagine their mourning fans need.
50
Drowned in Sound
Instead of making a One Direction farewell album, they made a Take That comeback album.
40
NME
‘Made In The AM’ doesn’t really change anything for One Direction; it’s simply another slick set of pop songs designed to strike a chord with their teenage fanbase and win over a few older fans along the way.
