The album featured the return of the band's former sound, after their previous album, Fashionably Late, featured more of a crunk and rap sound. The album is the first to be recorded without an official bassist, with Charles Kallaghan Massabo playing bass on the record.

Reception

Overall, the album received generally favorable reviews, and was much more well-received then the band's previous album, Fashionably Late. It received an overall review of 72/100 on Metacritic. Some critics labelled it as the band's best album, others also adding that it is the best work that Ronnie Radke has written. The album was widely hyped up to be "Dying is Your Latest Fashion" Part 2 and Alternative Press said that "Falling In Reverse have given fans the rare gift of an artist stepping back to the sound they originally fell in love with." Giving it a rating of 90/100. Revolver Magazine also gave it a great review of 90/100 saying "Post-hardcore fans will certainly enjoy what is Falling in Reverse’s strongest record to date."Others agreed as well,but not as strongly, with Sputnik Music saying that it was "the best Falling in Reverse songs" but with "a few exceptions", giving it the rather average score of 66/100.
Multiple critics did not look so kindly upon the album with the Kerrang! rock magazine giving the back-handed compliment of that "Just Like You is a good album, in that it contains many more good songs than bad ones." With the magazine giving the unsatisfactory score of 60/100. One critic from Punknews.com was rather more straight forward in their review giving the line that it "Seems like a deliberate maintenance to cash in on the Warped Tour crowd because there's no substance, nor any style, to this record, as has been the case for FIR for years now." Giving it the very low score of 10/100.
The album was included at number 50 on Rock Sounds top 50 releases of 2015 list.
