Reception

The album was met with mixed reviews by music critics. Timothy Powell of the BBC stated that the album "reveals a band that is fresh, vital and ferociously good." He went on to say that The Script are now positioned as "next big thing" and that the album entails "hip-hop, pop melodiousness, state-of-the-art production and anthemic rock." His overall summary was that the album is "Intelligent, beautifully crafted and compelling." [ [http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/release/jbhj/ Rock & Indie review - The Script, "The Script"] ] Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the album 3/5 stars while saying it was often "devastatingly effective" and that "A lot of people are going to hate The Script, a lot of people are going to love The Script." [ [http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/amusic/a122052/the-script-the-script.html Digital Spy review] ] The German "WOM magazin" monthly went as far as writing: "Eigenständing und originell ist anders. The Script bringen die Misere der Musikindustrie of den Punkt." (Independent and original [music] is different. The Script point out the music industry's demise.)"
