  1. 9.0 |   Spin

    Every string-swept disco flourish or arena-rock guitar break heightens an unflappable poise that bypasses rote R&B melisma for soul-shaking celebration

  2. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    The single Don't Upset the Rhythm... typifies their ebullient, retro-R&B approach, but it isn't the best thing on the album.

  3. 8.0 |   The Sunday Times

    Dusted themselves down, remembered what they love about music, and written a brilliant pop-soul album.

  4. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

  9. 5.0 |   PopMatters

    Listening to this album right now as I write this, I feel bad about how hard I’ve been on it: the musicians are capable, it sounds fine, the songs aren’t bad by any means. But none of those descriptions are exactly praise
