Allmusic.com gave 2 Years On a 4 star review:
The Bee Gees … regrouped with 2 Years On and surprised everyone with their biggest selling single to date, “Lonely Days,” and a surprisingly hard-edged accompanying album, on which the supposed Beatles influences of their earlier days were pushed aside (it also didn’t hurt that the Beatles were now history). The music is somewhat less fey and more progressive here, and at times they sound like a lighter-weight version of the Moody Blues of the same era, with sharper vocals. The …Bee Gees suddenly found themselves right back in the thick of popular music, and as close to the cutting edge of pop/rock as they’d ever been.
