Pitchfork 7.7/10 The Nova Scotian power pop band offers a pleasant surprise-- this 30-track LP is its best since 1999's Between the Bridges.

A.V. Club B There's a typically Sloan-like joke in the title of the band's eighth studio album, Never Hear The End Of It, which crams 30 songs into 76 minutes, and threatens to send even Sloan fans into power-pop overload. It'll take a strong constitution to weather power chord after power chord, and soaring harmony after soaring…

Slant 3.5/5 The album’s form is at the very least consistent with the band’s feedback-heavy, rambunctious live performances.

Pop Matters 7/10 One trend in the 15-year-career of Canadian pop/rock group Sloan (stars in their own country, cult heroes elsewhere) has been towards excess.
