Entertainment Weekly

Lovebox rarely disappoints. [24/31 Jan 2003, p.100]

Mojo

A slick, clever and diverse set of populist dance and digi-rock songs. [Nov 2002, p.110]

Alternative Press

With Lovebox, they do another about-face, dirtying up and slowing down their song-structured house tracks into a grimy soul/funk/house/hip-hop amalgam. [March 2003, p.94]

Mixer

The album's edgy urban vibe, psychedelia and reggae find the Armada merging all of their varied influences into a collection that pounces with monster grooves and purrs with low-slung downtempo tunes. [Jan 2003, p.72]

Rolling Stone

The album's wanton schizophonia results in such a switched-on pileup of styles that Groove Armada have earned their own rubric -- call it electrocrash, and consider it great.

Urb

Positively dripping with crude funk. [Mar 2003, p.95]

Uncut

A stew of funk noir and mashed-up rhythms--a little too mashed-up at times. [Dec 2002, p.130]

Playlouder

'Lovebox' doesn't quite scale Vertigo's dizzy heights, but it'll be perfectly at home both in clubs and in your lounge.

All Music Guide

Lovebox takes them much too far down the path of production gloss, right on into the field of bland MOR electronica.

Q Magazine

Groove Armada continue to have mislaid that sparkledust. [Dec 2002, p.105]

Blender

Similar inventiveness [to that on debut album 'Vertigo'] has been markedly absent from the London duo's subsequent work, and sadly, Lovebox continues the trend. [#14, p.136]

Not their best, but still a lot of fun to listen to. If you bought this and enjoy it, you should check out Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub).
