  1. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    This brilliant album is colourful, giddy and immensely enjoyable from start to finish

  2. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    Sun Airway conducts Soft Fall with a unique command, never straying from its drifting atmosphere even as it continually delivers a batch of catchy, highly replayable songs

  3. 7.3 |   Pitchfork

    Soft Fall just works, whether as a dazzling display of sumptuous synthetic ambience, rich, romantic pop, and quite a few points in between

  4. 7.0 |   All Music

    More streamlined than Sun Airway's debut, but just as vivid
    Read Review

  5. 6.2 |   Bowlegs

    Sun Airway are treading a careful line between uplifting pop and hyper-sensory experimentalism here, and some songs get buried beneath the layers of tricks and effects

  6. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Good rather than great, and enjoyable if rarely fully captivating
    Read Review

  7. 6.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    While there is more focus to the classically tinged electro-pop songwriting on Soft Fall than their last album, it shows up in moments, and disappears entirely at others

  8. 6.0 |   Q

    Print edition only

  9. 5.0 |   The Digital Fix

    Hammy lyrics and recycled ideas bring down what should have been a storming sophomore effort
