  1. 8.0 |   Subba Cultcha

    There's a menacing air present throughout most of this eleven song album

  2. 7.0 |   AU Review

    El Khatib may have just enough individual flavour to stand out from the crowd
    Read Review

  3. 7.0 |   Spin

    A fine testament to the power of pomade nostalgia, cigarette-pack-in-sleeve tropes, and Gene Vincent licks
    Read Review

  4. 6.5 |   Prefix

    One senses that Hanni was likely more influenced by the current vogue for garage rock than any particular affinity for the originals

  5. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    The White Stripes loom large over all this, but he brings a noirish touch of his own that renders a few tracks more than just pastiche

  6. 6.0 |   Rave Magazine

    And it’s all here: a raucous blend of blues, garage, surf-rock, and Motown pop, like some rich anachronistic musical stew

  7. 6.0 |   DIY

    For the most part the album covers similar territory to that of the Black Keys or early White Stripes but unfortunately lacks the hunger or ragged energy of either act

  8. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    Fans of edgy pop with a few snarls will enjoy this experience.

  9. 6.0 |   Uncut

    It would be wrong to judge him as a Jack White/Petit Vodo copyist. Print edition only

  10. 5.0 |   NME

    Decidedly understaffed in the tunes department. Print edition only
