  1. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    A frothfest of colour and light, with a joyous disregard for genre boundaries, but almost zilch in the way of introspection

  2. 8.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    With a favourable wind, it could easily be massive

  3. 8.0 |   The Fly

    A collection of catchy pop tunes and an eclectic one at that

  4. 8.0 |   Q

    A tail-thumping collection of pop songs. Print edition only

  5. 7.0 |   BBC

    Why do Noisettes get away with being so eclectic? Partly because their songwriting is strong, but partly because Shoniwa's smoky vocals can impose themselves on any musical setting

  6. 7.0 |   The Digital Fix

    From a musical viewpoint Noisettes have done it again

  7. 6.0 |   The Arts Desk

    Cast in the role of a silver-tongued 1950s lounge singer, Shingai Shoniwa is magnificent

  8. 6.0 |   The Observer

    Chart-friendly electropop and retro soul predominate
    Read Review

  9. 5.0 |   DIY

    Undoubtedly, this band can write a catchy hook, and ‘Contact’ is not, at heart, bad. If anything, it just feels slightly out of touch

  10. 5.0 |   musicOMH

    A lot of their latest effort seems like a vehicle for Shoniwa's vocals and little else
