The album has been hailed by music critics worldwide, with the New York Times saying that with Mechanical Bull, “anthemic is the goal and anthemic is the end result,” and Entertainment Weekly claiming the album finds the band “recapturing the white-lightning-in-a-bottle spark.” The New York Daily News awarded the album five stars out of five, hailing that it “boasts the most clear-eyed performances, finest writing and sharpest focus of KOL’s career.” Rolling Stone said the new songs “quake with soul, country and gospel history,” and MTV claimed the album is “the Kings at their most powerful and complete.” SPIN called Mechanical Bull the band’s “most seasoned” album and said that Kings of Leon are at “the peak of their skill.”
