Maria Sherman of Fuse praised Joseph's "speak-singing" and the "beautiful piano arrangements" on the album, though criticized his enunciation while rapping.<ref>https://www.fuse.tv/2015/12/twenty-one-pilots-ranked-records#3</ref> ''Alternative Press'' described "Addict with a Pen" as "slow, spare, and nakedly honest" and "the best representation of what initially drew fans to the band".<ref>https://www.altpress.com/404-not-found/</ref> | |||
