reception

criticism

Night Visions received mixed reviews. Alex Young from Consequence of Sound particularly praised the song It's Time and the general radio friendliness of the album as well as the various styles of music represented, but criticized that the tracks were sometimes too predictable and interchangeable and finally described the album as a disappointment compared to previous releases by Tape. Las Vegas Weekly's Annie Zaleski rated the album 3.5 stars out of five, praising the songwriting and creativity, but notes that the band sounded cheesy and over-the-top at times. Gregory Heaney from Allmusic awarded three out of five stars, he makes comparisons with Coldplay and describes the songs as emotional mid-tempo jams, dramatic, rousing and soundtrack-compatible.

Awards

The album won a Billboard Music Award in the Top Rock Album category. Furthermore, the song Radioactive received a Billboard Music Award in the Top Streaming Song (Audio) category .
