| 100% | Music OMH | So, when it came time to write Ultimate Success Today, I was reminded of that first urgency.”That sense of reckless abandon is here on Ultimate Success Today, but the evolution of the band has meant that, sonically at least, this is a much more advanced and progressive record than the debut. |
| 90% | The Line of Best Fit | |
| 85% | Under the Radar Magazine | In 2017, the band's creative peak so far came in the monumental Relatives in Descent, a record which brilliantly captured the collective rage and hurt every frustrated individual had experienced the previous year. |
| 83% | Backseat Mafia | I first heard of the band in 2015, when they supported Canadian noise punks METZ on their autumn UK tour. |
| 83% | Earbuddy | Might as well enjoy an uplifting album!Okay, so that didn’t exactly happen with Protomartyr‘s fifth album, Ultimate Success Today. |
| 80% | Paste Magazine | From their first LP No Passion All Technique to their latest release especially, Protomartyr have had a preoccupation with failure, the volcanic eruption of small, petty lives confronting the overwhelming forces, both external and internal, that bind them to their insignificance and vise versa. |
| 80% | The Guardian | Not, at first sight, the most fascinating piece of information about Ultimate Success Today, but one that’s worth bearing in mind if you’re in the market for something faintly creepy. |
| 80% | DIY Magazine | In the past it has felt like the group have been living in a sort of “worst case scenario” alternate universe, but with this, their fifth studio album, the timelines have crossed. |
| 80% | The Arts Desk | He has led this otherwise young band for five albums now, every one of which feels like an indignant last stand. |
| 80% | Pop Matters | Certainly, you can hear elements of other bands of that ilk in their sound, Pere Ubu being most obvious. |
| 80% | Loud & Quiet | The likes of The Fall were musical pariahs – of their time yet always at odds with everyone around them. |
| 80% | Laut | Protomartyrs fünfte Platte "Ultimate Success Today" lässt sich problemlos mit aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Phänomenen verbinden. |
| 67% | Nöjesguiden | Juli brukar vara en närmast skivfri månad, helt utan nya releaser, men 2020 kommer nya album som vore det en ständig vårflod. |
