This song is finger-licking good and Chasez is sounding better than ever.

"Until Yesterday" marks a dramatic change in his musical approach, with a
minor-chord-driven Beatles-esque meets "Rocky Horror" track about discovering
your girlfriend is pregnant with another man's kid. |

Quintessential old-school pop, this track is more Beatles-esque than 21st
century...[with Until Yesterday] he is poised to catapult to a new level
of fame. |

[Until Yesterday] reveals a nasty side: It's a nervy, poisonous kiss-off
to a cheating lover. |

Entertainment Weekly -
Popwatch
While "Until Yesterday" has an undeniably driving beat and a sticks-in-your-head
melody that converge and build to a very dramatic crescendo (a la "Cry Me
a River"), the lyrics of this single give me uncomfortable cause for pause.

Idolator
It's a doozy--prepare yourself for a stomping take on the power ballad, complete
with sorta corny lyrics, a Freddie Mercury-channeling backing choir, military
drums, and a fist-raising run-up to the final chorus. |

MidWeek News
Darned if it isn't infectious. The vocals coincide with its percussion during
the chorus, so it gives the sense of coming at you all at once. |

Poster Girl
Until Yesterday has its share of rhythm-jumping and manages to
sound adventurous and unique (theatrical, Id say) |

Rhapsody
With a sinister pulse and snaking melody, the verse to this JC Chasez single
may be ominous, but it's the chorus that gets downright nasty... |
|
|
 |
Stylus
The specificity of the lyrics would be a point against under most circumstances,
but the music, funky and lavishly arranged and harmonised, is so perfectly
suited to a tale of grand deception and betrayal. |

The Stranger Song
You can still feel the same Chasez breaking out in all his songs - the man
has a real voice, and a sticky-icky sensuality that naturally wills listeners
to grind on the dance floor. |
