Critical reception

Never Enough received a score of 83 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on 19 critics' reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". Kerrang!'s Luke Morton described the album as "cinematic in its scope and execution". He emphasizes the band's fearless experimentation, noting that "Never Enough is best digested whole, immersing oneself in the singular vision of a band who create without barriers or predetermined convention." The Guardian's Alexis Petridis highlighted its genre-defying approach: "There's so much else happening, a profusion of ideas so deftly handled that it never feels sprawling or indulgent." Petridis notes the band's seamless integration of diverse elements, from flute solos by Shabaka Hutchings to collaborations with artists like Dev Hynes and Hayley Williams, stating that "Turnstile effectively balances bold innovation with conciseness, reflecting their hardcore heritage while expanding their musical footprint." Pitchfork's Nina Corcoran drew parallels to 1980s nostalgia, stating that tracks like "Light Design" merge Turnstile's rhythms with "The Police's pedalboards and cool-toned synths," and that "I Care" features drumrolls and gated reverb reminiscent of Stewart Copeland.
