  1. 8.0 |   Gig Soup

    Doesn't overstay its welcome and Copeland has put together a well-produced collection of strange, fantastical pop

  2. 7.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    By virtue of its accessibility, Black Bubblegum presents itself as the most singular album Copeland has produced to date

  3. 7.5 |   The 405

    Copeland continues to make challenging and idiosyncratic music that defies conventional boundaries, and it's safe to say there's no chance of him toning things down anytime soon

  4. 7.2 |   Resident Advisor

    As with all of Copeland's records, surprising angles and intriguing touches are strewn throughout. But this is also an incredibly fun record, which is enough reason to play it over and over

  5. 7.0 |   Pitchfork

    Ramshackle, blithe, and relatively accessible, with cleaner vocals than usual and a sense of demented whimsy
    Read Review

  6. 7.0 |   Crack

    A charismatic and silly pop-driven record
    Read Review

  7. 7.0 |   All Music

    Black Bubblegum isn't the type of sprawling, messy platter of rhythmic noise that one might expect from Copeland, but it's still wacky in its own way

  8. 7.0 |   Uncut

    Could be his most accessible body of work. Print edition only

  9. 6.0 |   Q

    Has a more amiable feel, assembling DIY jams inspired by Afrobeat and reggae, not to mention the fringes of Animal Collective's back Catalogue and Texan outlier Sun Araw. Print edition only
