MagnetAug 2, 2016All of [the tracks are] meaty, beaty, big and bouncy. [No. 132, p.53]

Jun 9, 2016The band’s glossiest record yet seems geared toward merging its brassy, retro-glam aesthetic with a commercial-minded agenda. For a time it succeeds, meting out earworms with take-no-prisoners rapidity. Eventually, though, Fitz’s mainstream pop ambitions outpace its once-emblematic sense of funk (and fun).
