May 2, 2012Reptar aren't afraid to grow up but they're gonna have fun getting there, and with Body Faucet they succeed in doing both.
-
Alternative PressMay 2, 2012Until Reptar develop their own voice, they have to keep making up for their derivative music with enthusiasm. [Jun 2012, p.82]
-
May 2, 2012It's definitely enjoyable, but it's also inconsequential.
-
Jul 5, 2012Reptar have pieced emotions together, both euphoric and heartbreaking, to create a debut that, although perhaps too varied in places, is a great starting point for the quartet.

Jul 5, 2012The potential is undoubtedly there, but Reptar's debut album suffers badly from the band's chaotic approach, as well as Ulicny's occasionally grating vocals.

Aug 1, 2012This album is a carbon copy of Vampire Weekend, but you know how when Gus Van Sant remade Psycho shot for shot and it was rubbish? It's like that.

May 2, 2012Body Faucet is an improvement over Oblangle in nearly every respect, but it's definitely not as surprising as that lovely little EP.

May 24, 2012Despite attempts at lyrical heft detailing a too-vague sexual awakening ("Sebastian") and an encomium for a friend ("Ghost Bike"), Ulicny undermines himself on a second-by-second basis by finding no lyric that can't be subjected to at least six different forms of contortion regardless of its content.

Aug 15, 2012Although Body Faucet is a bit inconsistent (perhaps because of its length – it clocks in at over an hour of material, but feels like more), the record is a brave and fairly fantastic debut that will surely grab the attention of those who give it a chance.

Q MagazineAug 20, 2012The ideas are all there, they just don't fit together properly yet. [Sep 2012, p.110]
-
Jun 28, 2012It's not so much that the songs lack shape, it's that this suggests Reptar lack conviction – every song borrows from something else, something vaguely similar but different enough to make this an incoherent mess, albeit one with oddball pretensions.

Under The RadarJul 9, 2012A bouncy, flamboyant album packed with danceable jams. [Jun 2012, p.155]
