Kindness Is the New Rock and Roll received generally positive reviews upon release, gaining a score of 8/10 with NME, and 8/10 from The Independent, and positive reviews from DIY, who stated that Harry Koisser was "the ideal frontperson: a head mix of swaggering bombast, fashionable loucheness and your mate down the local spewing inspirational Tumblr quotes at closing time".[9] However, Q gave the album a more mixed review of 6/10, saying that they "occasionally slip into boilerplate territory". Most reviewers believed it was a return to form for the band.
