Reception ( edit ) <Th_colspan="2"> Professional ratings <Th_colspan="2"> Review scores Source Rating Allmusic The Guardian Paste ( 9.6 / 10 ) Pitchfork Media ( 5.8 / 10 ) Popmatters Rolling Stone I and Love and You has received generally positive reviews . On the review aggregate site Metacritic , the album has a score of 73 out of 100 , indicating `` Generally favorable reviews . '' Bart Blasengame of Paste gave the album a very positive review , writing that the Avett Brothers `` ... constructed something beautiful '' while still making their sound more mainstream . The review continued : `` The depth and beauty that spread all across I and Love and You will , with any luck , keep The Avett Brothers from becoming The Jonas Brothers . '' Popmatters ' Steve Leftridge called the album the band 's best record yet , writing `` I and Love and You 's new elegant musical direction and very strong set of new songs indicate that they are band that is indeed just getting revved up . They might remain too folk - fringe - y to be pop 's Next Big Thing , but the Avetts ' latest fully delivers on this band 's considerable potential . '' Leftridge also praised Rick Rubin 's contributions . In a more mixed review , Pitchfork Media 's Stephen Deusner was less receptive to the album 's mainstream sound , writing `` Every instrument sounds perfectly placed , and that 's a shame because the Avetts got more mileage out of their rough edges than most bands this decade . '' Deusner also called the album `` predictable '' and concluded : `` It 's not that there 's no room for such studio nuance in the Avetts ' music , but it gives I and Love and You a quotidian sheen , making their signature sincerity seem sappy and much less special . '' Despite the mixed review , Deusner praised the track `` Laundry Room . '' Alexis Petridis of The Guardian also praised the track `` Laundry Room '' in his otherwise mixed review , writing `` The finest moment may be when ' Laundry Room ' unexpectedly abandons the blueprint after three and half minutes and explodes into a thrilling bluegrass coda . At that moment , I and Love and You sounds like a band suddenly doing what they want to , rather than what they think they should . '' Paste named I and Love and You the best album of 2009 , writing `` For their artistic breakthrough , these North Carolina howlers polished their scruffy Americana sound until it gleamed . The result : an overpowering acoustic album brimming with sadness and soul . '' In 2009 , the album was ranked # 9 on Paste 's `` The 50 Best Albums of the Decade '' list .
