"Now" has also reaped considerable critical applause, with Entertainment Weekly awarding it an "A-," noting that its "driving buzz-saw guitars and (the) spunky-urgent defiance of Hayley Williams' shout are just disruptive enough to yank you out of your boring suspenders-folk coma and into and old-fashioned mosh pit." "Part No Doubt," declared People, "part Yeah Yeah Yeahs, all rad."
