Dave Brosha's review: "This album is strangely counter-rock, filled with flighty, drawn-out numbers and sweeping combinations of dreamy fact and fiction."

Will Hermes' review: "But like 'Up,' much of 'Reveal' is haunted by an ennui that's curious for a band that made their name by talking about the passion." Graded B.

Multiple critic and user reviews for "Reveal." Metascore of 69.

John Murphy's review: "While it doesn't quite make instant classic status as 'Automatic' did, it will certainly please fans who have been eager for a return to form like this for some time."

Nicholas Taylor's review: "Better than most other current pop rock albums, but it's not what an R.E.M. album used to be."
