    I'm a newcomer to The Summer Set, but thus far, I'm really loving them! Stories for Monday is a joyously sad album, full of sing-along choruses and shimmering pop production. There's a lot of pop-rock flourishes here, indicative of musical professionalism. The lead singer has a lovely falsetto voice, capable of conveying huge emotions while still sounding authentic.

I highly recommend this record to everyone!… Expand

    All Downhill From Here should have been track two, not seven because [Figure Me Out] is unbeatable. ... Skip this one [Missin' You] if you're a fan of One Direction. Guys, guitars... use them. [2 Apr 2016, p.51]

    There's that sense of uncertainty on the entire album, which serves as both an extended trip down memory lane and, perhaps, a goodbye. But whether this is simply a bookend before a new phase or a complete finish is up in the air. Either way, Stories for Monday is a total celebration.

    For a band who ultimately decided to soldier on, the album can feel unbalanced, but still delivers all the belting feel-good choruses that made you fall in love with the Arizona crew back in 2009. [Mar 2016, p.100]
