Reception

Template:Music ratings AllMusic's Charles Spano gave Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me Is Gone 4.5 out of 5 stars, writing that "It is not so much that the Walkmen sound like Television or the Talking Heads or Blondie, but that they, like their NYC peers Interpol, the French Kicks, and Radio 4, evoke the gritty, urban energy so well."[2]
