 In a review of the album , Fraser McAlpine of BBC Music wrote that the band had left " the strutting cockerel heat " of their 2004 single " This Love " for the " saturated rave bliss " of " Love Somebody " or " The Man Who Never Lied " . According to him that ’ s an effect of the market they have chosen to contribute on . Billboard 's Chris Payne thought that the song fades into the background of the other stronger tracks on Overexposed . Adam Markovitz of Entertainment Weekly was more critical towards Levine 's vocals on " Love Somebody " and wrote that the singer 's voice is processed in a high disaffected whine — " like a male Rihanna or an android castrato " , which according to him , it 's ideal for tracing the contours of a pop hook .
