| | Barenaked Ladies: Maroon - PopMatters Music Review |
 | | If you've been following the band for a while, then you know that a part of what generates an easy affection for BNL is their ability to sing about a variety of subjects, sometimes topics that are downright maudlin, with a shiny grin and a catchy tempo. |
| | A lot of the dark thoughts that permeate Maroon can likely be traced to dealing with the possibility of losing an integral member of the band, as well as the emotional time and effort that BNL have put into their careers to find success. |
| | Comparisons to every great pop act ever will flourish upon listening, and the power of Maroon is in the ability for at least one song to remind you of your favorite pop band of all time, be it the Beatles, the Beach Boys, XTC, or [insert favorite band here]. |
