“Never Close Our Eyes”
The album’s second single turns up the Daft Punk-ian synth to give off its own French essence. Credit is definitely due to Dr. Luke, Bruno Mars and the Smeezingtons for composing the track, which sounds less produced and less manipulated -- another reason why the song suits Lambert so well.

Rolling Stone: 'Never Close Our Eyes' REVIEW
Reviewed Item: "Never Close Our Eyes" by Adam Lambert
Reviewer: Rolling Stone Magazine
This is pop music as simple arithmetic: A Bruno Mars tune plus Dr. Luke production plus an Adam Lambert vocal equals hit radio gold. "Never Close Our Eyes" is that calculated – right down to the lyric, which aims for the same party-at-the-edge-of-doom vibe as recent smashes like "I Gotta Feeling" and "Till the World Ends." ("Why can't we just live life with no consequence/And always live in the now?" Lambert sings.) But there's no denying the pulsating electro drive of Luke's beat, or the blustery power of the melody and lyrics. As for Lambert: The magnificence of his strident vocals defies all formulas and precepts, mathematical and otherwise.

Fuse's Review of Adam Lambert's "Never Close Our Eyes"
Fuse praises the song for being “a satisfying negotiation between an electro-pop banger and romantic anthem. It’s the kind of song that’s tailored both for the dance floor and at home/in the car sing-alongs.”

Brian Mansfield's Review of "Never Close Our Eyes"
Never Close Our Eyes (Bruno Mars, Ari Levine, Lukasz Gottwald, Philip Lawrence, Henry Walter).
A late addition to the album that was definitely worth the wait. In some ways, it's similar to Cuckoo in its desire to maximize the moment, but there's such a longing when Adam sings "I wish that this night would never be over." It's more than a party-all-night song; it's as if he knows how much will be lost forever once the moment stops.

Billboard Magazine's Review of "Never Close Our Eyes"
Never Close Our Eyes - The album's first ballad? Nope. The emotional opening turns out to be a red herring for another supple Euro-dance anthem that recalls David Guetta's most effective singles.
