| Riff Magazine | 9/10 | 90 | “The first Linkin Park album with vocalist Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain, "From Zero" carries the flame as well as it could.” |
| Spectrum Culture | 70/100 | 70 | “Despite Chester Bennington’s untimely tragedy shadowing Linkin Park’s regrouping as Emily Armstrong takes on his mantle, the band recaptures some old magic we haven’t heard since their heyday.” |

How the Breakdown works
Every outlet’s score is converted to 0–100 (2/5 is 40, 5.9/10 is 59, a B+ is 88) and averaged. Grades follow the B-Side scale: A is 90–100, B 80–89, C 70–79, D 60–69, F below 60. Critics who liked it is the share of outlets that scored it 75 or higher; the Breakdown shows green at 75 and up, red below. Divisiveness asks a different question: not whether critics liked it, but how close their scores are to each other. Five critics who all give it 50 are Unanimous, even though none of them liked it. The labels run Unanimous, Broad agreement, Some debate, Divided, and Contentious. Replay rate comes from listeners, not critics: yes counts fully, a few tracks counts half, no counts zero. The gist quotes each outlet’s own summary of its review. Scores marked est. come from reviews that publish no number.
