 Despite that, Bohlsen called "7/27" a "solid pop album that manages to stand out from the crowd, with catchy singles, and a sense of confidence that can’t be found anywhere else".Writing for "Spin", Brian Josephs referred to "I Lied" as the point where the album "regresses into blandness".He also comments on the way the group faced a "personality crisis" on "Reflection" that was not resolved in this record.
