When True was released on September 13, 2013 (September 16 in the UK), the reaction was polarizing. Critics and purist DJs scoffed at the twang of banjos on "Wake Me Up." At the Ultra Music Festival that March, the crowd was confused. But the public had the final word. "Wake Me Up" became a global phenomenon, spending 14 weeks atop the Billboard Dance chart and becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time.

noted that while the songs were sometimes "underwritten," the use of organic instrumentation like banjos and strings gave the mix a "real presence". Sputnikmusic avicii true 2013albumrar
