  1. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    The fact that it’s not doing anything particularly new doesn’t really matter because it’s hitting all the right notes and pushing all the right buttons. Most of all, just like their debut, it’s a lot fun

  2. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    This may not immediately appeal to everyone who liked their debut, but overall is an absolute success, and in many ways supersedes it. A joy from beginning to end

  3. 8.0 |   Uncut

    The 2 Bears faith in the unifying qualities of a good rave-up has a tendency to spill over into hokey sentiment at times. Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   Q

    2 Bears world is a place where new love and self doubt are equally ecstatic states. Print edition only

  5. 8.0 |   DIY

    The 2 Bears have once again triumphed at what they do best, serving up a vibrant and joyous take on the music that has shaped them

  6. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    Manages to be simultaneously familiar and strange, commercial but emotionally weighty, grown-up without being boring: a musical grey area that grows curiouser all the time

  7. 8.0 |   NME

    One of the most joyful dance releases of the year

  8. 7.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    Contains two of the most perfect, bodily addictive pop songs you’ll hear all year in ‘Angel’ and ‘Not This Time’ – the latter with a credible claim for a place among the all-time greats

  9. 6.0 |   The Observer

    At times it’s a little saccharine, but deep house-driven albums are rarely this much fun

  10. 6.0 |   Mojo

    The political message is drowned out by squelchy pop ragga. Print edition only

  11. 5.0 |   The Music

    It’s strangely nostalgic music, leaving the intangible sense of being transported to a London nightclub some 15 years ago
