Restless has received mostly negative reviews from critics. Allmusic focused heavily on similarities to the Killers and a lack of originality.[4] The AU Review gave another negative review, saying "Unfortunately after "Faded White Dress", the CD starts to sound all too the same. Catchy songs, yes, but nothing to really make me overly excited", before going on to describe a lack of versatility and other shortcomings.[5] Only a fan review in Future Entertainment gave the album seven stars, posting that "It’s almost unnatural to inhibit yourself, and not start moving to the sounds of album."[8]
