  2. 8.0 |   The 405

  3. 8.0 |   DIY

    Like a great painting, something new will stand out each time you return

  4. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    A more than healthy 8... but the next Dutch Uncles album, provided they keep one eye on the fun and their slide-rule just out of view… ten out of ten, clear round, no falls, no refusals

  5. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    This is a band that play fast and loose – exuberantly – with time signatures and beats

  6. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    Released two years after the debut album Dutch Uncles, Cadenza has definitely been worth the wait and the anticipation

  8. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    This is a quality effort, a proper thinking man’s pop record

  9. 7.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Cadenza is proving to be easy to admire, tough to love, but completely, completely compelling

  10. 7.0 |   The Digital Fix

    Cadenza is that rare instance of an album achieving both originality and accessibility

  11. 6.0 |   Q

    A thoroughly captivating listen. Print edition only

  12. 6.0 |   Bowlegs

    With their great pop hooks, the band will always be accessible and there is no need to lose their spark by trying to be the next breakthrough pop act

  13. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    Dutch Uncles sound like a band on the brink, and there's enough promise here to justify interest in what comes next
    Read Review

  14. 6.0 |   Clash

    There’s no doubting Dutch Uncles, with their ever-so-slightly off-kilter pop-rock, know their way around a time signature
    Read Review

  15. 5.0 |   NME

    Overall it’s incomplete and lacks the pop touch to transform things from cerebral to listenable
