"For all its youthful pathos, Never Trust a Happy Song evokes pop colors bright enough to glow at tempos just short of manic -- even 'Slow' doesn't stay that way for long."
- Spin
"Never Trust a Happy Song's finer moments arrive when Grouplove is crafting sun-kissed anthems that deserve to be blared across beaches or, at least, from the speakers of any open-top car en route to the shore."
- Slant
Never Trust A Happy Song was produced by the Grouplove's own Ryan Rabin and comes on the heels of their acclaimed, self-titled EP. The ablum peaked at number 75 on the Billboard 200 and spawned four singles: "Colours", "Tongue Tied", "Lovely Cup" and "Itchin' on a Photograph".
