NME
It has the reckless spirit of a record that hasn’t been over-analysed, but with an intense flurry of ideas from someone in the absolute prime of their creativity

Twins is a bright moment in a nearly ceaseless evolution, and one of the most fluid and successfully ambitious in Ty Segall's catalog

Pitchfork
It's close in format to Goodbye Bread, which maintained cohesion despite several shifts in delivery and tone. Twins' offerings, however, are far more sugary and immediate: faster tempos, thicker fuzz, more power
