  1. 9.0 |   The Fly

    This is Peace using 90s sounds to channel that decade’s optimism into something positive for today

  2. 9.0 |   NME

    Our greatest currency is the chime of a golden tune. Peace have delivered 10 of them

  3. 9.0 |   DIY

    In an era in dire need of a new wave of potential festival headliners, they’re more than just a good punt. In Peace we trust

  4. 8.0 |   Clash

    With ‘In Love’ Peace aren’t reinventing what a band can be, but taking it back to basics and reminding us why they’re important

  5. 8.0 |   BBC

    Peace take the past and swish it about with a bit swagger, and the results are just dandy

  6. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Everything is borrowed, as they say, and whatever pieces have been used to assemble In Love, the end product is not simply derivative, it is Very Exciting indeed
    Read Review

  7. 8.0 |   Art Rocker

    A strong start for these Birmingham boys, if not an original one
    Read Review

  8. 8.0 |   The Digital Fix

    Once the feeling of slight familiarity has gone there’s an excellent album here
    Read Review

  9. 8.0 |   Q

    Chastising them for not reinventing the wheel seems churlish when they sound like they're having so much fun spinning the old one. Print edition only

  10. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    They certainly know how to write catchy indie guitar music and, given the chance, will improve and find their own voice
    Read Review

  11. 7.0 |   The Quietus

    There’s not a great deal of substance here; it’s just that what there is is arranged so adorably
    Read Review

  12. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    While this debut album is made up of many different elements, they are all well executed and the final result is never less than accomplished

  13. 6.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    The big, singalong choruses mean they'll be huge
    Read Review

  14. 6.0 |   The Observer

    Short, effective blasts of indie rock that will sound good – occasionally euphoric – when played loud in a dark, sweaty club
    Read Review

  15. 6.0 |   God Is In The TV

    Nods to Blur, Oasis, Nirvana, The Cure and The Beatles are all apparent. The question is, will you have a problem with that?
    Read Review

  16. 5.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    If you can clear your mind of the baggy nostalgia, or if you’ve never heard those records before, In Love is quite a bracing and well put together indie rock album, though nothing more than that
    Read Review

  17. 4.0 |   The Guardian

    Castle is a genuinely good guitarist. Like Graham Coxon on Blur's debut album, his playing is occasionally tumultuous enough to suggest something beyond a band trying on other people's styles
