" '' Time Out '' said of the album : " One of Britain 's greatest bands just got greater in an unexpected but hugely welcome way . Single men , I urge you : put down '' FHM '' and pick up '' AM '' . " In their 10/10 review , '' NME '' wrote that '' AM '' is " absolutely and unarguably the greatest record of their career . " In his 8/10 review , J.C. Maçek III of '' PopMatters '' praised Turner for being " at his most poetic to date " , and called the album " a wonderfully cohesive and diverse album that fits together incredibly well . " Tim Jonze of '' The Guardian '' noted that the album " manages to connect those different directions – the muscular riffs of '' Humbug '' and the wistful pop of '' Suck It and See '' – with the bristling energy and sense of fun that propelled their initial recordings . " '' Pitchfork '' s Ryan Dombal called '' AM '' " paranoid and haunted . " In his review of the album , Matt Mason of '' Q '' gave it 4 out of 5 stars and wrote : Not afraid to explore but never radical for the sake of it , the Arctic Monkeys have delivered another triumph . Some of their iridescent energy has been tempered by age , but it 's been replaced by the craft and confidence that made their 2013 's Glastonbury set so compelling .

" was also nominated for Best Track , and won the award for Best Music Video . '' AM '' was nominated for the 2013 Mercury Prize for best album , becoming Arctic Monkeys third album to receive the nomination , after their debut album '' Whatever People Say I Am , That 's What I 'm Not '' , and its follow-up , '' Favourite Worst Nightmare '' .
