  1. 8.0 |   Exclaim

    Moonface and Siinai expertly pair Krug's iconic warble with instrumental propulsion that showcases a more positive and collaborative side to the team's sound

  2. 8.0 |   All Music

    It's certainly one of his most balanced, as playful as it is earnest, and as hook-driven as it is meandering

  3. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit
