I dunno, I got used to seeing them less clothed than this.

Anthony Easton: The “dododo”s are so simple it might be lazy, and the whistles add to the saccharine quality. I should hate this, or seek it out as a genre exercise — can you imagine Stephin Merritt doing it? — or appreciate it ironically. But apparently according to The New York Times, irony is dead, so I like this earnestly enough.

Alfred Soto: Songs are hard.

Ian Mathers: As someone who does not live in the UK and was not paying attention during McFly’s chart-topping years, so I have no idea if this kind of gentle, lightweight strum-and-grin is their normal metier or what. And it’s not like it’s either hard or damning to write another happy song about love that says absolutely nothing new about the subject. Which leaves “Love Is Easy” in a fairly normal limbo for radio fodder; unlikely to inspire much devotion, but unlikely to be turned off either.

Jonathan Bogart: Science has demonstrated, without anyone wishing to know, that it is indeed possible to make One Direction look like Mötley Crüe.

Patrick St. Michel: Making the ukulele not sound cloying, though, is hard for these guys.

Edward Okulicz: Does the job for a McFly single, which is to exist, have a video, promote a greatest hits record and be purchased in some form or other by their dedicated fan-base. It’s workable commerce, mediocre art and the opening half with ukuleles makes Jason Mraz sound dangerous. The second half at least hits at some of their more energetic, catchy earlier work, but the only thing they’ve added in the last ten years is inanity.

Brad Shoup: I’m not really up on my McFly… does Tommy always sing like his hands are full of teeth? If you explained the Beatles to a six-year-old, this is the exact song they would write — the It’s a Wonderful Life bit would be his take on “Revolution 9,” God bless him — and now that I’ve typed that, I realize I’m not allowed to give this a bad score.

Ramzi Awn: I keep clicking back to the song to make sure the clip isn’t actually stuck on a Campbell’s soup ad.

Will Adams: Jesus fuckballs, there are a lot of candidates for the worst part of “Love is Easy.” The ukelele? The doot-dos? “I’m laughing the clouds away/I hear what the flowers say?” The whistling? “Twee-he-ee-he-ee-ee-heee/Twiddle-de-dee-dee dee?” I’ve never wanted a song to end more than “Love is Easy.” The central conceit pushes my cynical buttons in all the wrong ways, and Tom Fletcher’s syrupy vocals don’t help. This perfect storm of Jason Mraz and Owl City has made my winter much darker and colder.
