Rolling Stone - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[The band] bust into their first studio album in eleven years like a street gang itching for battle, rapidly building to the power-chord fanfare and shiny vocal chrome in 'Bored and Razed.'" Spin - "HELP US, STRANGER is a preservationist work, attempting to do what record labels seemingly cannot: contextualize an erstwhile apex genre." Clash - "Its gloriously unkempt charm seems to sum up the album as a whole -- purely and simply the sound of a group of musicians having the absolute time of their lives." Pitchfork - "The Raconteurs make the strongest case for themselves through competent, workmanlike song construction. They've built a rock record that is sequenced perfectly; sturdy, but never staid." Paste - "Gone are those unnecessary fiddle, organ and bongo solos, HELP US STRANGER sees White and his bandmates return to straightforward rock, complete with killer guitar riffs and catchy, singalong choruses." Uncut - "There's no shortage of invention and genre mashes to prick up the ears here."
