  1. 8.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Business Casual proves that they are no mere copycats, and that they have a strong voice all their own

  2. 8.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Blending Hall & Oates and early Whitney into an irresistible dessert

  3. 7.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    So, it’s formulaic, it’s 'retro' in a really kitschy way, and Business Casual sounds pretty much the same as their 2004 debut, Fancy Footwork; and still, Chromeo are fucking great

  4. 7.0 |   The Observer

    Deploying Thriller-era keyboards and other outmoded gadgetry on songs that never cease to nag

  5. 7.0 |   Spin

    Booty calls, romantic squabbles, and digitally syrupy declarations of devotion
    Read Review

  6. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    If Chromeo’s music is suited for any specific time of day, it’s love-making time

  7. 7.0 |   Blurt

    The Montreal duo's unabashed retro obsession runs pure, and all signs point to Prince, to new wave pop, and/or to the top 40 hits of Hall & Oates

  8. 6.9 |   Pitchfork

    Business Casual...feels slighter than Chromeo's previous efforts due to a relative lack of hooks

  9. 6.5 |   Prefix

    A fun little record full of ‘80s-referencing R&B cheese
    Read Review

  10. 6.0 |   NME

    A deluxe weave of dreamy synths, biting snares, throbbing bass and warbly Vocoders
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   State

    It always feels as if you’re listening to a lost snippet from an ‘80s gem
    Read Review

  12. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    A return to the Eighties electro funk upon which they made their names
    Read Review

  13. 6.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    They’re perfect at mimicking and mixing the various moods, genres, and sonics of the 1980s and making it their own

  15. 6.0 |   Q

  16. 5.0 |   BBC

    Business Casual is, as its title suggests, the ultimate middle ground. Come on in, gents, it seems as though your 15 minutes are almost up

    Dave 1 and P-Thugg mostly just make cheap facsimiles of themselves
