    Far better than their last release. They seem to become more mature and the sound of the record is excellent. Although doesn't even touch Hats Off to the Buskers.

    It's not particularly big or, indeed, clever, but it's a return to form that might just stop the rot, even if it's unlikely to reverse their fortunes dramatically.

    The View appear to be growing up. Forever, of course, is a very, very, long time. But on this evidence, against all odds, The View look set to run and run. [Apr 2011, p.99]

    The overall effect is like being trapped in a lift with McFly on a sugar-rush. [Apr 2011, p.98]
