Jun 4, 2012On Endless Flowers they wisely embrace that amorous but no less powerful approach to indie pop originally deployed by charismatic acts such as the Modern Lovers and Different Class-era Pulp. Pleasingly, it's a guise that fits them as perfectly as their sunglasses.
-
Jun 6, 2012Endless Flowers is Crocodiles' best album and also their most frustrating. They're simply trying to do good enough and no more.
-
Jun 8, 2012Unfortunately, too much of this record slows down or stops short completely, selling loud walls of sound in place of recognizable hooks and undercooked, sentimental lyrics in place of real emotion. The good stuff makes its mark and moves on, but there's just not enough of it, and the rest of Endless Flowers feels, well, endless.

Alternative PressJun 4, 2012What stands out is how Crocodiles have lightened up, embracing everything from grrrl-group alt pop to deliciously spacey new wave. [Jul 2012, p.90]

Jun 14, 2012Endless Flowers is an album of summer anthems for those who like their beach days mixed in with a good dose of torrential summer downpours.
-
MagnetJun 13, 2012As if to remind us that they're still the weird Crocodiles, Endless Flowers's best song, the surging "My Surfing Lucifer," is preceded by a clumsy spoken-word piece (in German, of course) ... it's a sign that there's still room for Crocodiles to figure out what works and what doesn't. [No.88 p.53]

Jun 7, 2012The blindingly sunny Endless Flowers is an album appropriate for the beginning of the summer, all popsicles, poppy beats and poolside parties coalescing into warm nights
