  1. 8.0 |   All Music

    Slurrup is a smile-inducing reminder that it's too easy to pigeonhole him as just a master craftsman - and that Hayes' pop is arguably even more potent when it's not quite as elaborate

  2. 8.0 |   The Observer

    Surprisingly perky, psychedelic doodle on Hayes’s own great American songbook

  3. 7.3 |   Pitchfork

    The triumph of Slurrup is that, for the first time since his debut single, Hayes makes that trickery seem effortless

  4. 7.0 |   NME

    Unlikely to move him from the best-kept secrets list, but a solid record nonetheless
    Read Review

  5. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    The lingering overall sense is of a musician free from demands and expectations cutting loose and having fun

  6. 7.0 |   Uncut

    There's nothing revelatory here, but it's good to see Hayes being so productive. Print edition only

  7. 6.0 |   Q

    Tones down the ornate arrangements for a more straightforward '60s British beat boom approach. The problem is it makes him sound pretty ordinary. Print edition only

  8. 6.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    Captures the breadth and depth of Hayes’ eclecticism in what feels like delineated album split

  9. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    There are all sorts of oddnesses about this record
