All Music
Between the impressive set of songs, the totally invested performances, and Youth's brilliant production, Meteorites ends up as a late-in-the-game triumph for the band and a worthy successor to their finest album, Ocean Rain

As a whole, the record is damn good—as good, and probably better, than what most bands attempting to echo what the Bunnymen are doing

The Quietus
A reliable entry but not a jawdropper. If such is the way of many bands over the years, it's still a source of regret to see it from a band that seemed to ring out from mountaintops

It’s hard to ever imagine a terrible Bunnymen record, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult to envisage another brilliant one, too

The title track is one of their default sweeping vistas, while Constantinople’s Eastern ring also recalls their early ‘80s heyday

Pitchfork
The band ran out of things to prove a long time ago, and as uncertain as the lyrics have become, the music has largely drifted into a comfort zone the band can’t quite coax itself out of

The candour of the lyrics and song titles here is to be admired. But, as a whole, 'Meteorites' fails to set the sky on fire

Consequence Of Sound
Is this album good? Yes. Great? No. But then why should we expect greatness consistently, especially in a field that has so many artistic peaks and valleys?

PopMatters
Listen and wonder to the glory of “Stars Are Stars” and “The Killing Moon”; then download the best bits of Meteorites and give credit to Mac and Sergeant that they can still occasionally make music that conjures up what made the Bunnymen so unique
