The AU Review
Nocturnes as a whole, does exactly what it’s meant to do, make you get up and dance. Little Boots has done her best to give us a true electronic pop album

Nocturnes is tremendous, a blistering reminder that whatever she had back then (sorry – it’s only been four years, after all), is still very much alive and well

Pretty Much Amazing
Little Boots knows how to write a hook. Like some musical puppet master, she seems able to control any of your limbs at whim

Ultimately, if Hands was Little Boots' booty-shaking call to the dancefloor, then Nocturnes is the afterglow, post-party soundtrack for the ride home

If the strength of Hands was its variety, Nocturnes's is its consistency, with a more focused attention on electronic dance music
