"With a High Premium Put on Infectious Choruses and Razor-Sharp Melodic Hooks." -- Grade: B-, 3 stars out of 5 -- "It's Madden's search for love in the L.A. wasteland that gives REVIVAL a certain charm.", "They still have a knack for a mammoth chorus....Love is a major theme...and it's woven throughout the album like an insistent string, the thread holding it all together."
