When they say 'more commercial' they mean a change in musical direction to appeal to a more mainstream audience, which shouldn't be influenced by the expectations of critics.

I've listened to a few of the songs from Troubadour, and there is a bit of merit to the suggestion, mainly because the tone seems less cynical and bitter. But the songs still sounded good after a first listen.
