Recording and release edit

Wilco recorded the album in their Chicago studios in early 2019;[4] on July 16, they announced the album, released lead single "Love Is Everywhere (Beware)", and announced tour dates.[2] The live performances break a two and a half year hiatus for the band from touring[5] and a year off in general.[6] "Everyone Hides" was released as the album's second single on September 17, 2019.[7] The album was recorded by taking simple song sketches from singer Jeff Tweedy, recording them in the studio with drummer Glenn Kotche, and then introducing the rest of the band to flesh out the musical ideas.[8]

According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Ode to Joy received "universal acclaim" based on a weighted average score of 81 out of 100 from 25 critic scores.[3] Erin Osmon of Uncut praised the album, writing, "It's a protest record only this sextet could make, one that rings loudest in its simplicity. It favours subtle textures and hushed vocals, and further reveals its wisdom with each listen."[15] Prior to its release, Paste named this one of the albums the writers were most excited about for October, citing the band's diversity and calling this release, "larger-than-life soft rock full of both grand ideas about the state of our world and small musings about matters of the heart".[1] Reviewing the album for AllMusic Mark Deming claimed the band were, "more than willing to explore the boundaries of their music, and they do so with the confidence and sense of daring that has marked their best work from Being There onward."[9] Michael Hann of The Guardian gave the release four out of five stars, praising the lyrics expressiveness and the different—if not quite experimental—use of varied instrumentation.[10] Nile Amos of Vinyl Chapters stated, "the album urges us, in the present world, to hunker down and appreciate loved ones and each other, more now than ever."[17]
