    Miles Kane is no doubt talented, but can't sugarcoat it... this album comes up flat. Kane attempts to take us on a rock 'n' roll journey, and in the process exiles himself from maintaining true identity, unlike his dark, groovy debut album. His constant screaming during this album is cringe-worthy. Miles's vocals are, as always, fantastic, the instrumentals are solid, but the album is forMiles Kane is no doubt talented, but can't sugarcoat it... this album comes up flat.

    When Miles does something well, he does it really well. There are enough good songs on this album to keep even the non-mods happy. 'Give Up' stands out as a sure fire chart topper. As do 'Taking Over' and the title single. The tracks that Weller worked on are apparent enough, with a very 60s feel to them. The rest is rather forgettable though. Jolly good effort

    So much better than that Kanye West rubbish that came out this week. Another album of great tracks from Miles, the stylish king of the mods. Do yourself a favour.

    This isn't a dogged re-creation of the past, the work of an artist concerned with painting within the lines, this is an album of celebration of groovy sounds that is pretty hard to resist.

    A thoroughly charming patchwork of neo-'60s rock. [Jul 2013, p.82]

    It's a predictable sound, though there's a thrilling intensity here. [Jul 2013, p.110]
