  1. 8.0 |   The Arts Desk

    That sweet indie / psyche pop sense of song structure is sublimated into the dance energy admittedly but constantly present nonetheless
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   All Music

    Much like his longtime collaborator Four Tet, Snaith has fully entered his festival dance era, making some of his most outwardly expressive music by injecting his own personality and emotions into superbly crafted club tracks

  3. 8.0 |   Far Out

    A shimmering dance album that feels like peace personified
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   Exclaim

    Snaith's work is meaningful, and it pushes music forward in a way that's genuinely exciting
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   Uncut

    The outpouring of creativity is exciting: but where this clearing-out of the songwriting archives leaves The Smile now is anyone’s guess. Print edition only

  11. 6.0 |   Northern Transmissions

    These songs have an energy to them that, while not radically different from the others, stands out thanks to the more balanced and impactful nature of the instrumentation

  12. 6.0 |   The Skinny

    Honey's combination of club beats and AI-boosted vocals is technically dazzling, but lacking in depth
    Read Review

  13. 4.0 |   The Guardian

    Evidently running out of ideas, the Canadian musician has used AI to alter his voice into rappers and singers – a dismally insular style of working that produces little of note
