Spin

The live guitars and drums--and vocals more emo than robo--give off an irresistible warmth. [Aug 2004, p.108]

Drowned In Sound

Bright Like Neon Love feels like the record The Human League could have made if they’d remade Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours in 1985. It’s like the soundtrack to the best party you’ve never been too, but always wish you had.

Stylus Magazine

Bright Like Neon Love may be too rock for the dance heads and too dance for the rockists, but for those without ideological hang-ups, it should be merely one of the most fun and exciting releases of the year.

The Guardian

The results are both familiar and fresh and should delight anyone disappointed by New Order's recent album.

New Musical Express

The album Daft Punk should have made. [7 May 2005, p.66]

Almost Cool

Sounds sort of like a cross between a more mainstream New Order and Daft Punk.

Alternative Press

What separates Cut Copy from the retro-electro-pop pack is the mixing prowess of French house maestro Philippe Zdar. [Oct 2004, p.146]

PopMatters

In the end it's Whitford's sincerity that saves the album. His refusal to get cutesy means that Bright Like Neon Love avoids being a cloying, "ironic" exercise in postmodern cheese.

Uncut

[An] effervescent, sun-dappled debut. [Aug 2005, p.103]

One of the most consistent and fun albums ive ever encountered...and ive only listened to it twice so far.

Johann K. gave it a10:
I can't believe I'm discovering this album now (2008), it's an amazing album, it's like a fresh cocktail of something old like the 90's and something futuristic that you can't quite see but with that cocktail in my hand I dance on without any worries of what's to come!

Gillian M. gave it a10:
CUT COPY are amazing. Their sound is fresh and belongs to Melbourne (where it comes from). Love it. Can't wait for the new album due this year (2007).

Nick G gave it a10:
This is one of my favorite cd's of all time. Cut Copy cross the boundaries between electronica, dance, and rock without taking themselves too seriously. Their catchy hooks and dreamy backgrounds make it so easy to get into, and their unique approach to music makes you come back to listen again.

What a great album! Sheer fun, and guaranteed to lift your spirits. Cut Copy share the same record label as The Avalanches whose Since I Left You album, is (probably) the best album ever. Whcih is why I only give this a 9. Bright Like Neon Love is sun soaked pop genius, shimmering, infectious, and totally addictive. Try it out!

Music Maven gave it an8:
Bright Like Neon Love is an album of 80's-like synth-pop. The songs are not very deep, but they are supremely catchy and fun. Cut Copy is definitely worth checking out if you like the Human League, Pet Shop Boys, or Postal Service.
