Critical reception
At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Relayted received an average score of 78, based on 13 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[8]
Steven Hyden of The A.V. Club gave the album a grade of B+, calling it "a record fueled by the soft-rock solipsism of 10cc and loads of antidepressants."[10] Barry Nicolson of The Skinny gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying: "Dipping its toe in everything from soft-rock to hip-hop to R&B and sixties soul, the songs all manage the trick of sounding roughly the same, completely unique, and uniformly superb."[17]
NME placed Relayted at number 13 on the "75 Best Albums of 2010" list.[18] Pitchfork placed "The Gaudy Side of Town" at number 99 on the "Top 100 Tracks of 2010" list.[19]
