  1. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    It’s a Bibio album, existing in multiple genres while belonging to none of them

  2. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Minor setbacks aside, it’s another beautiful, consumable collection of music from Bibio that no other artist could make sound so inherently theirs

  3. 8.0 |   All Music

    Though more than a few of Wilkinson's contemporaries are working in similar territory, A Mineral Love goes beyond mere re-creation. For Bibio, these are the good old days

  4. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    His most intricate album to date, A Mineral Love is delicately constructed like tiny cells of a flower

  5. 8.0 |   Q

    Altogether, as lovely as the title suggests. Print edition only

  6. 8.0 |   Gig Soup

  11. 6.0 |   Spectrum Culture

    A Mineral Love doesn’t break with tradition
    Read Review

  12. 6.0 |   Clash

    The terse reality of this album is that production is polished to such a degree that it leaves no edge or crevasse available to latch onto

  13. 5.8 |   Earbuddy

    It is inoffensive, thoroughly unoriginal

  14. 5.0 |   Exclaim

    On the whole, the album suffers from a bout of dullness, with the majority of tracks mingling in a grey area, struggling to push through their apparent amalgamation and stand on their own

    Someone tell him to stop reminiscing and get back to work
