Critic Reviews

80
AllMusic
Even at high volume and off-the-charts speeds, Quarterbacks' main attribute is the wistful beauty that defines Engle's lyrics and attaches itself to the smartly composed tunes.
80
SPIN
Quarterbacks might not be the first group to marry twee melodies and lyrics to hardcore energy and efficiency, but their self-titled debut certainly pulls off this unlikely union more seamlessly than anyone else has.
80
No Ripcord

What makes Quarterbacks such a peculiar – and rather addicting – record is just how in the red Quarterbacks keeps things at all times.

Exclaim!
Quarterbacks sound like a band not too concerned with leaving their comfort zones, but when they have a debut album this strong, it's hard to find fault with that.
70
Pitchfork

In spite of the formalism, individual tracks on Quarterbacks are a sharp jolt. Together, they blur to make the album more of a mood piece.

58
Consequence of Sound
Engle’s voice is meek and exposed, though he still manages to assert himself over the pummeling drums and sharp guitar riffs.
