"It's clear that the songwriting team of vocalist Beckett and guitarist Michael Carden wants to keep Almost Here melodic and very accessible, and the pair succeeds throughout the record. 'Checkmarks' features another powerful singalong chorus, 'Skeptics and True Believers' moves along at a faster pace, and 'Down and Out' kicks in on robust Midwestern power chords. The Academy Is... would benefit from more of this Weezer-derived bottom end. But the band's slick pop yen is impressive enough throughout Almost Here to make it a strong debut." — AllMusic
