The album so far[when?] has a score of 75 out of 100 from Metacritic based on "generally favorable reviews".[1] John Metzger from The Music Box described Despite Our Differences as "the most infectious, pop-infused set that the duo ever has managed to concoct. In fact, its melodies, harmonies, and arrangements are so ingratiating that the album carries the weight of an instant classic."[5] Thom Jurek from Allmusic said it was "part of an emotional journey as complete as can be. More relevant than anyone dared expect. It's accessible and moving and true. It's their own brand of rock & roll, hewn from over the years, that bears a signature that is now indelible."[3]
