Bassist notes: “ It's a really interesting book. The nice thing is that it's a story told from two points of view and Simon got married last year and I think it's a love record in that regard, it's about his relationship with his new wife. A lot of it is about trying to take arguments from somebody else point of view and be able to see two sides of the picture. I guess a lot of it is about the revolutions in life and revolutions in relationships and those sort of things, just the stuff everyone goes through at different points in their life. ” ' was confirmed as the second single from the album, after receiving its first play from an ecstatic during his show on 8 July.

Nick Annan of was favourable in his review and awarded a score of 7/10. He summarised; 's contributes a guitar solo on ‘Bubbles’ and while Top five hit ‘Mountains’ is still the best example here of the band in full majestic flow, there are plenty of big chorus to be enjoyed elsewhere here. Contrary to the album's title, for Biffy Clyro evolution proves more useful than revolution'.
writer Thom Gibbs praised the bands earnestness, despite describing the sound as more commercially accessible; 'Biffy Clyro’s Simon Neil is emphatically unbothered about offending the anti-earnest on his band’s fifth album. Only Revolutions is a massive, bold and ambitious record, primed for radio but loaded with the unshakeable seriousness and belief that has run through Biffy’s career'. He was less favourable towards the lyrics, particularly in slower songs such as 'God & Satan' and 'Many of Horror', but ultimately awarded a score of 8/10. He added, 'Grandeur suits Biffy Clyro, and their overblown songs manage to tug effectively on heartstrings despite their foibles. Their vibrant brand of ridiculousness is infinitely preferable to the mass emotional prescriptions of or vapid truisms of '. Matt Glass, journalist for Scottish publication, gave a positive review with a 4/5 star rating.
He did say however, that the album wasn't completely cohesive throughout; 'Each track is undoubtedly great, but, as an album, Only Revolutions sometimes struggles to flow through Biffy’s scatterbomb of styles'. That was that the only criticism though as he summed up his review with, 'With Only Revolutions, Biffy cast a magnifying glass over everything they showcased on Puzzle. The riffs get louder, the screams more pertinent and the orchestral onslaughts darker and more sinister. ‘Mon the Biffy.' . Chris Reynolds of also awarded the album a four star rating. He summarised, 'Simply put Only Revolutions maintains predictability and unpredictability in equal measure.
It’s a step forward, a step up and a genuinely brilliant rock album, bring on the amphitheatres'. writer Sarah Boden, complimented the band for 'confidently casting their net wider' than predecessor Puzzle. She went on to add that 'Biffy Clyro have got this far without paying heed to populist tastes, so they needn't start now.

gave a very positive review, awarding a score of 8/10. Jamie Fullerton wrote that the album 'springs the band instantly level with the greatest rock acts in the world. The only thing that can stop them being recognised as such is the 2010 trend of UK guitar music being treated with contempt by the electro-pop-fixated mainstream'. were also highly favourable, scoring the album at 9/10.
Tim Newbound wrote that, ' Only Revolutions perfectly juxtaposes moods; beautifully serene songs such as ‘God & Satan’, ‘Know Your Quarry’ and ‘Many Of Horror’, for example, provide an ebb and flow that balances delicacy with the balls-out aggression of ‘Cloud Of Stink’ and the ace closer that is ‘Whorses’, a song in which they achieve a dark melodic sensibility that betters anything featured on one of Neil’s favourite records, ’s '. Mark Edwards of gave the album a four star review.
He praised the record for holding a 'highly listenable variant'. He also wrote that, 'On Only Revolutions they move things up a gear with a string of actual and potential hits ('That Golden Rule', 'Mountains' and the stadium-ready 'The Captain' have already charted; the Josh Homme-featuring 'Bubbles' surely will). But the rubbery oddness of 'Born on a Horse' reassures us that the band haven’t lost their quirky imagination'. Further positive reviews came from British publications, and, who both rated the album at four stars.
Q magazine also named the album one of the 50 best records of 2009 and the song 'Bubbles' as no 2 in its top 50 downloads of November.
