According to critic review aggregator Metacritic, the album has received a score of 73 out of 100, based on 26 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Heather Phares of AllMusic writes that "Musically and emotionally, ''Love Letters'' is rawer than what came before it, trading breezy synth pop for insistent psych-rock and soul influences. Confessional and insular, ''Love Letters'' is the work of a band willing to take pop success on their own terms and reveal a different – but just as appealing – side of their artistry in the process".

Nights Out
''Nights Out'' is the second studio album by English electronic music band Metronomy, released on 8 September 2008 by Because Music. Background The starting point for the album was, according to lead singer Joseph Mount, "a half-arsed concept album about going out and having a crap time." Mount wrote and recorded most of the album by himself, but instrumentalists Gabriel Stebbing and Oscar Cash "play bits on a couple of tracks on the album and it's kind of become... Metronomy used to be a him and now it's definitely a they – which takes the heat off me a bit as well". Artwork The artwork for the album was created by airbrush artist Philip Castle. Release The commercial pressing of the album has a printing error on the cover; instead of reading ''Nights Out'', it merely says ''Nights''. The promotional version is unaffected.
