    Not every album has to bash listeners over the head with wild ideas and massive sounds; sometimes it's enough to provide a warm hug or a tender word, and Boys Forever does a fine job providing both.

    Boys Forever is almost built to act as the soundtrack to the end of the dog days, when you just want a lovely track to wrap up the best moments with your friends.

    The fact is that Boys Forever rarely changes pace. Small musical variations in tempo or atmosphere such as on ‘Things’ and ‘I Don’t Remember Your Name’ become ultra significant breaks from the Boys Forever norm and I would have liked to have heard a few more of them. However, the shimmery diamondness of the album still remains.

    With Doyle's lethargic vocals sung like sighs to form sweet harmonies over upbeat guitar lines, it's an album that has a smile that doesn't quite reach the eyes. [Sep 2016, p.105]

    Boys Forever goes some way to making things alright, under or above ground.
