    They have the tunes to match--the Prettiots’ gentle indiepop is distinctly autumnal, mixing sunshine and frost, and it allows the humour to shine, but helps the lyrics hit that much harder.

    A decidedly loveable record. [Apr 2016, p.113]

    There's a dark, delicious humour and true heartbreak in the NY trio's frank yet delicate confessionals. [Apr 2016, p.96]

    The duo definitely hit the nail on the head when it comes to injecting their youth into the tracks.

    Songs like "18 Wheeler" and the relationship laundry list "Boys (That I Dated in High School)" are surprising winners on an album that feels like it probably should be written off.

    Yet despite the lyrics providing more comical punchlines than your average Adam Sandler film, the lack of variation means Funs Cool comes up just short of being a great début.

    A mixed bag, but when they’re good, they’re great.
