  2. 10.0 |   Dork

    A record that doesn’t just thrill, but empowers too, it’s enough to put MUNA firmly amongst the highest echelon of modern pop bands. Quite possibly the album of the year so far

  3. 9.0 |   Clash

    MUNA are still our favourite three-piece queer band making music straight from their giant hearts, but they're offering something new with 'MUNA' - evolving, inspiring, and taking us along for the [horse] ride. We can't wait to see where they corral us next

    Its musical brightness and self-acceptance are the album’s defining characteristics

  5. 8.6 |   Northern Transmissions

    It’s a perfectly produced summer album that allows desire to drive decisions, but most of all, it’s just a hell of a lot of fun

  6. 8.2 |   Beats Per Minute

    Arriving at the tail-end of pride month, but at the beginning of Summer, MUNA is the best soundtrack one can find for the next few months. Seemingly destined to join the canon of pop’s great cult-classics (Carly Rae Jepsen’s Emotion, Robyn’s Body Talk, among them), it’s an album whose legacy should last much longer

    After being dropped by their label the three-piece had to regroup – but find a new level of freedom in this liberating era

  10. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    Synthpop trio MUNA craft an LP boldly exploring how being queer is composed of both joys and traumas, and that there’s no shame in messily embracing both

  11. 7.9 |   Spectrum Culture

    Throughout their self-titled album, MUNA demonstrates their effortless songwriting and collaborative abilities across songs narrating stories of queer love and heartbreak. It has everything from the moody and low-key, to summery indie anthems

  12. 7.8 |   Pitchfork

    The Los Angeles trio steps fully into their role as pop stars and mentors, offering gentle instructions for falling in love, dusting yourself off, and joyfully living your truth

  13. 7.0 |   Exclaim

    MUNA bring fun and lush arrangements to their self-titled third album

  14. 6.5 |   Under The Radar

    MUNA maintain the same endearing intimacy and vulnerability as their previous records. It feels as if the group has grown from the introspective and therapeutic Save the World and is grasping onto ideas of self-worth that exist within their songs
