Critical reception


Andy Kellman of AllMusic wrote in his 3 and a half star review "Released almost exactly two years after the UK chart topping and platinum selling Tribute, Revolve more closely follows Calvin Harris' equally successful "Blame" on which John Newman provided a typically full-throttle vocal and somewhat contradictory lines like "Guilt is burning" and "Don't blame it on me". Although Newman made this album with a new set of collaborators, including fellow producer/songwriters Greg Kurstin and Jack Splash, its foundation is likewise in muscular retro soul that blares and bolts and manages to keep up with the singer's superhuman level of energy. There are lighter diversions into house and disco including "Tiring Game," featuring Charlie Wilson, and Newman dials it down every now and then for ballads, but Revolve is very much in line with the winning formula of Tribute. Its wider emotional range and stylistic switch ups, none of which is outside Newman's grasp give it a slight edge."[3]
