  1. 8.3 |   AU Review

    Ridiculously good choruses, stellar vocals and a couple cheeky guitar solos thrown in for goodwill

  2. 8.0 |   The Music

    The Temper Trap have reaped the creative benefits of a renewed focus on the fundamentals of songwriting and production

  3. 7.0 |   All Music

    Ultimately, Thick as Thieves plays like a heartfelt love letter to Temper Trap's fans who have stuck with them since Conditions

  4. 7.0 |   FasterLouder

    Meant for big audiences, for big moments, for the festival crowds that will scream the lyrics back at them. This is rock at its most blinding

  5. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Dougy Mandagi's feverishly operatic voice - a spectacle in and of itself - saves Thick as Thieves from becoming just another anodyne, stadium-ready rock trifle
    Read Review

  6. 6.0 |   Q

    A series of thumping anthems that would probably sound good over the closing credits of a teen drama. Print edition only

  7. 5.7 |   Pitchfork

    Likable enough pop-rock with a bright electronic sheen

  8. 5.3 |   Earbuddy

    There are good meaty hooks on Thick As Thieves, but the shiny package could have used a little more sweat

  9. 5.0 |   Gig Soup

    Everything here has already been done, by the same band, better and more memorably on ‘Conditions’
    Read Review

  10. 4.0 |   Clash

    There’s enough Coldplays in the world TTT - focus on what makes you special, as this is sadly shocking
