  1. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Standard Fare have become a band who’ve found themselves, or at least one that’s heading in that direction

  2. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    Their relentless cheer might wear thin for some, but Standard Fare have returned with 12 songs that fans will devour. A late contender for indiepop album of the year

  3. 8.0 |   Q

    An accomplished set of intelligent, sparky old-school indie-pop. Print edition only

  4. 7.4 |   Beats Per Minute

    Standard Fare are young at heart, and despite their thoughtful and sometimes cynical outlook on life, their music seems to soundtrack that of a teenager with a big imagination stuck inside the confines of a big city

  5. 7.1 |   Pitchfork

    The album is exuberant, neatly sequenced, and over in about half an hour: a modest joy, but great indie pop is an accumulation of modest joys

  6. 7.0 |   Blurt

    Feels like a cleaner, slightly more sophisticated realization of Noyelle Beat's potential

  7. 7.0 |   BBC

    What Standard Fare do feels more honest: they’re not trying to change the world; they are trying to make you pogo away your woes with them on the dancefloor

  8. 6.0 |   Uncut

    A bunch of surging melodies, all delivered with self-effacing charm. Print edition only

  9. 6.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    The trio’s made-in-my-bedroom sound makes listening to their music feel like your own private concert, which is great but can occasionally do them a disservice

  10. 5.0 |   No Ripcord

    An album that is fundamentally pretty samey - a jaunty, power-chord style that was all the rage ten years ago, but nowadays feels tired

  11. 3.0 |   Bowlegs

    We’re not seeing much in it, apart from an opportunity to reminisce, which probably isn’t the point of it
