Reception

Jennifer Kelly of PopMatters called the album "brash, sardonic, and wonderful".[3]

Ben Thompson of The Daily Telegraph wrote "This is that rarest of achievements: a comeback album that actually adds to an already illustrious reputation. ... Out of True finds the Nightingales not merely back to their best, but actually improved."[4]
