AllMusic | [2] |
Slant Magazine | [1] |
Thom Jurek of AllMusic described the album as "an interesting mirror image to 2003's dark and moody Music in a Foreign Language. These songs are about mid-life, its traps, compromises, disappointments, and the hidden delights found in aging". Jurek concluded that it is "an intimate look at not only aging, but at the gracefulness of it all. Solid, delightful, and moving." [2] Preston Jones of Slant Magazine called Antidepressant "40 minutes of positively luminous pop" in which Cole paints his "anxious desperation as a series of low-key melodies", summarising it as a "prescription for sweetly downcast pop that will cure whatever ails you". [1]
