Reception
editDriver received positive reviews from critics noted at review aggregator Metacritic. It has a weighted average score of 80 out of 100, based on four reviews.[1] Writing for Pitchfork Media, Sophia June gave this album a 7.3 out of 10 for "layered arrangements and a renewed sense of confidence" with "lyrics so honest they border on awkward" and "a knack for storytelling that feels real".[2] In Rolling Stone, Jon Dolan scored Driver 4 out of 5 stars, calling it "a coming-of-age indie pop masterpiece... with bright production and songs that carefully and vividly map out an early-twenties travelogue full of crisis, memory, hope, and the kind of intense moments that feel almost debilitatingly hard-hitting at that age".[3]
