Reception

Keep on with Failing received positive reviews from critics noted at review aggregator Metacritic. It has a weighted average score of 70 out of 100, based on four reviews. Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, with critic Tim Sendra writing that the new line-up of the band without former songwriter Martin Carr "actually works pretty well" and this album is "a batch of songs that have all the hooks, energy, and breathless joy of the vintage Boos at their best". In The Arts Desk, Nick Hasted considers Keep on with Failing 3 stars out of 5, stating that this comeback "recall[s] their strengths" and concludes "ignoring nostalgia, they’ve found a songwriting future". Writing for Pitchfork Media, Robert Ham rated this release a 6.2 out of 10, writing that it "lacks the fuel and fire to elevate it from a good Britpop record into a great Boo Radleys record" and that some songs "are well-constructed and catchy" but "those tunes are never more than pleasantly vanilla".
