    This album was an absolute pleasure to listen to - continuously fun and overall very, very enjoyable. Every song had my attention, whether it was the funky All U Writers & Ooo or the experimental All the Way & I Feel So Free (Citation Needed). Each and every track on the album was enjoyed here in some way. I definitely recommend it - one of the best albums I heard all year.

    An exhilarating workout for mind and soul. [Dec 2015, p.103]

    As If, with its foot shuffling inducing melodies and rhythms, is an album that will delight both hardcore and casual fans, and will undoubtedly put a wide Cheshire cat style smile on anyone that comes into contact with it.

    As If leans a little too heavily on the groove in the middle, with moments like "Funk (I Got This)" fading into the background, but it's reinvigorated towards the end by the riveting "Lucy Mongoosey", which uses another singalong chorus as an anchor, an introspective pause among all the dancing.
