  1. 9.0 |   Slant Magazine

    It's Wasner's transformative presence that ultimately sets Dungeonesse apart from the rest of the '90s-mining pack

  2. 8.3 |   A.V. Club

    Dungeonesse is pure jubilation
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   All Music

    Wasner and Ehrens have made an album that honors their devotion to R&B and dance music in the best way possible, with love, respect, and a bunch of memorable jams

  4. 8.0 |   The 405

    An enjoyable debut album that ticks all the right boxes. It's got parts that are shamelessly fun and danceworthy
    Read Review

  5. 7.7 |   Pitchfork

    Their take on the poppier side of modern R&B would sound at home on a playlist with Jessie Ware and Solange, but they’re also trying to reanimate a very specific mid-90s vibe

  6. 7.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Dungeonesse have brazenly managed to distill the best parts of modern and classic pop radio down to a sweet, everlasting core while creating their own sparkling, sugary sound in the process

  7. 7.0 |   NME

    There’s enough to like here

  8. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    Dungeonesse deserve to be played on the radio

  9. 6.0 |   DIY

    There are too many times here where these tracks sound too contrived and calculated, a false approximation in place of the real thing
    Read Review

  10. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    For all its glitz and shine, Dungeonesse feels slightly disingenuous – a rather contrived leap onto the 'summer of disco' bandwagon
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   Art Rocker

    After offering such pop-precision initially it is almost frustrating that the rest of the record remains simply satisfactory
    Read Review

  12. 6.0 |   Under The Radar

    All in all, it's a good romp, and it's always compelling to hear an artist's voice outside its associated context

  13. 5.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    A greater emphasis on humanism would give Dungeonesse more soul and, perhaps most important of all, more hooks

  14. 4.0 |   PopMatters

    Feels like a work in progress that needed more work
