  1. 8.0 |   DIY

    Unflinchingly honest, Wet don’t specialise in happy endings, but they’re always telling a good story

  2. 8.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Laser-focused synth-pop/R&B trio sees a world in a grain of sound
    Read Review

  3. 7.0 |   All Music

    The young trio from Brooklyn paints a warm portrait of R&B-inflected indie pop

  4. 7.0 |   The 405

    It's no surprise that the album highlights, particularly 'Deadwater' and 'All The Ways', which kicks things up a notch with some uptempo R&B vibes, are when Wet try something a little different

  5. 7.0 |   The Music

    A quietly assured effort, making for a remarkably consistent debut
    Read Review

  6. 6.7 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Zutrau may be unable to write about anything other than bad relationships, but her lyrics occasionally contradict each other in ways that seem playful and even illuminating

  7. 6.5 |   Earbuddy

    Don't You want to hear the same songs you've already heard months before this album's release?

  8. 6.0 |   Beardfood

    The female equivalent of James Blunt - inoffensive, calm, warm, lovely if you identify with this demographic
    Read Review

  9. 6.0 |   Exclaim

    Only connects with contemporary R&B, never pushing it forward
    Read Review

  10. 6.0 |   Clash

    After several tracks becomes predictable and soporific
    Read Review

  11. 5.8 |   A.V. Club

    The potential for affecting music is hampered by subjecting it all, ballad and beat-laden alike, to a stifling compression and abundance of effects
    Read Review

  12. 5.0 |   Pretty Much Amazing

    It just doesn’t convince me of anything; not its artistic ambitions or the weight of its heartbreak
    Read Review

  13. 4.0 |   PopMatters

    Its insular lack of adventure ultimately delivers disappointingly dull listening
    Read Review

  14. 4.0 |   Pitchfork

    Almost any contemporary R&B act has more imagination, more rhythm, and more interesting blues
