year, by a mile", stating that its only flaw is that it is an "embarrassment of riches, a grande bouffe of drama, beauty and romance". The staff at Spin wrote "if this reunion [...] isn't a revelation, it still has its thrills, mostly via Butler's lush, breath taking backdrops". Barnet said that apart from the "handful of duff tracks and a couple of absolute howlers, 'Here Come The Tears' is a fine album - certainly not the best they've made together, nor even apart, but accomplished, ambitious and often highly impressive". Yallon Banoun of God Is in the TV wrote that overall, he thought it was "definitely a great comeback album. Only a few songs here recall the early Suede style, 'The tears' have managed to create their own distinctive sound, which is more 'Soul' inspired than Suede ever where". O'Connell said that Anderson and Butler "have basically remodelled themselves for a more sensible and sober Suede fan base". Stylus Magazine reviewer Mike Mineo wrote that the duo had "not lost a bit of the touch that made them famous in the early 1990s—this debut will surely prove to be one of the most consistent albums of the year". Other reviews, however were more mixed, such as Uncut, who wrote that Here Come the Tears is "not a disaster, by any means.... It's just that, over 13 songs, it's abundantly clear that whatever the potency of this partnership, there's an old lack of range". Molen said that while the songs were "interesting enough," after a while, "they start to blend into each other [...] and the repetition is what affects you most". LAS Magazine writer Niles Baranowski wrote that it "sounds confident and brash but breaks little new ground", added that "[j]ust as on the first two Suede records, Butler's noisy, glittery guitar tone is a secret weapon". While it "fits nicely in Anderson and Butler's catalogs [...] it makes matters clear that all they'll ever do is release clones of what they once were". Here Come the Tears charted at number 15 on the UK Albums Chart. "Refugees" peaked at number nine, while "Lovers" peaked at number 24. Andrew Womack, of online magazine The Morning News placed the album at number 8 in its list of the top 10 albums of 2005. Track listing All songs written by Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler.
