Critical reception

Trouser Press called Bleeding Star "an immaculate big-budget production [that] ... unveils a new commercial face for the band."[3] The Washington Post wrote that the album "is unfailingly pretty, but the lovestruck ethereality of songs like 'Breathe' is a little too wistful for its own good."[5] Miami New Times praised "Into You," writing that it "kicks in with the powerful, hypnotic, ambient guitar sounds the band's known for, with great pop melodies skipping across the top."[6]
