  1. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    If it is indubitably more soundtrack album than bigshot solo debut, this record certainly provides irrefutable, definitive, official proof of O’s talents as a songwriter in her own right.

  2. 8.0 |   The Scotsman

    The film is not out until December but, judging this delightful album on its own merits, Karen O should work with chldren and animals more often

  3. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   State

    Where The Wild Things Are is a positive affirmation of Karen O’s growth as a performer in her own right and as a possible taster of what a future solo career might offer

  5. 7.0 |   Under The Radar

    O does an excellent job accompanying the perpetual dawn and dusk of the film's photography with an organic, absolutely non-obtrusive series of interrelated songs

  6. 7.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Punked-up folk pop that's haunted yet playful.

  7. 7.0 |   Spin

    The rumbling acoustic guitars and schoolyard choruses are both joyful and foreboding

  8. 6.8 |   Pitchfork

    Boasts enough illuminating, atypical turns from Karen O that make it worth experiencing independent of its source.

  9. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Print edition only

  10. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Karen O can write a song. A damn compelling song, too, and she doesn’t need bells and whistles to do so. Need proof? Try the joyous acoustic stomper “All Is Love”
