Kerrang! praised the album for doing what Weezer does best in their 10/10 review: "It's just an album of bona fide, polished, often odd, perfect pop-rock." | ''Everything Will Be Alright In The End'' receieved strong reviews, with a Metacritic score (an aggregation of many critic scores) of 77, the highest score since 1996's ''[[Pinkerton]]''.

EWBAITE is well liked among fans. Some criticize the song "[[Back to the Shack]]" for it's pandering lyrics as well as faulting the album's production, which to some sounds "muddy." Nevertheless, the album is almost universally seen as an improvement over the band's output in the late 2000s. Fan favorites include "[[Cleopatra]]" and "[[The British Are Coming]]". | |||
