Under the watch of venerable, veteran producer Chris Thomas (whose credits include The Beatles, Sex Pistols and countless others) these west Londoners have made a varied, touching, excitable and witty album

Songs that are packed with romanticism, whether past, present or future. Give it a few listens, and it will take up squatters rights in your head

Drowned In Sound
That there is nothing inventive or groundbreaking here is disappointing, and the nostalgia for 25 years ago does get a little tiring on a couple of tracks. Thankfully, there's more than enough moments of gleaming pop majesty to make up for that

The tics of weirdness that made this band so initially affable may be gone, but they're now a cut-rate pop act instead. Nothing wrong with that

Beats Per Minute
Individually, there isn’t really a bad track here ... But there are only so many catchy, uptempo pop-rock songs you can listen to consecutively before they start to blend together and create a whole less satisfying than the sum of its parts

The Line Of Best Fit
With Serotonin, Mystery Jets have delivered an upbeat, well-produced third record, just in time for summer consumption. Unfortunately, it occasionally seems a little too calculated, too impersonal, too damn mediocre

PopMatters
The pure prettiness of the melodies tends to blur the songs together into one super-catchy super-song; gone is the texture, the songs are polished to transparency

The inventive moments may have been built by a previous generation, but the Mystery Jets make them their own, building upon their brand of guitar pop. All that is needed now is someone on editing duties

There’s something very dated about large parts of this record, a factor that would almost certainly limit its longevity
