Other politically-tinged tracks include "Fan The Flames," a song about gentrification, "Can't Stop Fighting," which deals with the unpunished female homicides in Ciudad Juárez, "Hard Lovin," a track regarding relationships between domestic violence and class structures, and "Meet Me In The Street," a track inspired by Matt Palmer's experience at the DisruptJ20 protests in Washington, D.C. during Donald Trump's inauguration. "Need to Feel Your Love" was critically acclaimed upon its release, some reviewers claiming it to be one of 2017's best albums. "Need to Feel Your Love" garnered five-star reviews from "The Guardian", "NME", and "DIY". "The Guardian" writer Ben Beaumont-Thomas, in a five-star review, called "Need to Feel Your Love" one of the "most tenacious" records of 2017: "Sheer Mag give you everything – socially conscious, sexually confident rock’n’roll that nods to [several styles] and make it even more than the sum of its parts." "NME" claimed it "thwacks you right in the gut from the get go" and "energy, desire and that indefinable cool that any great rock band must have burst from every angle." David Sackllah of "Consequence of Sound" described the group's handling of political subject matter as distinctive: "In an age where the bar for political music is so low that any indie-rock band writing a positive song about love filled with vague platitudes can sell it as an anti-Trump attack, the direct punch of Sheer Mag is refreshing." His only criticism on the record was that it :suffers slightly from the pacing issue of moving to a 12-song LP after mastering the EP format," where its "back half gets bogged down by some of the mid-tempo tracks, especially an out-of-character ballad (“Until You Find The One”), after burning through the tremendous highs of its first side." "Tiny Mix Tapes" writer Ben Levinson called it "propulsive and provides evidence to the talk that a guitar band in 2017 can be a source of ingenuity without pulling excessive tricks and mutations upon the craft." He elaborated that its charm is that it is "not flashy or excessive, but it is indeed better than anyone asked for it to be." AllMusic writer Tim Sendra praised "Need to Feel Your Love" as "just good old-fashioned hard rock that's guilt free and easy to love" without any "toxic masculinity" to worry about.
