  1. 6.0 |   Blender

    Hiding in the background was the secret weapon the Strokes always needed: a guy who can write a decent slow song.

  2. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    It all feels a bit lackadaisical, too patchy and uninspiring to have any real substance…

  3. 6.0 |   The Scotsman

    Bass player Nikolai Fraiture is the latest member of The Strokes to tire of their current hiatus.. He appears to be a decent songwriter... but his drawling, nasal voice dominates everything and is not a particularly pretty sound.

  4. 5.0 |   The Observer

  5. 5.0 |   Clash

    A passable, wisely brief effort (35 minutes in total) at stretching his solo wings…

  6. 4.0 |   Scotland on Sunday

    Could anyone but Nikolai Fraiture, bass player with The Strokes, have made this record? No, because anyone else would have been told to take this quasi-ironic post-rock twaddle and put it where the sun don't shine.
