    Rife with evocations of springtime and shooting stars and first loves. [#19, p.102]
  2. The record paints The Concretes’ personality in richer detail without giving up one iota of their distinctive spookiness.
  3. The album snuggles up between the band's fellow Swedes the Cardigans and the Mamas and the Papas, but never settles.

    Mogis finds a spectrum of hues in their previously monochrome sound. [Apr 2006, p.113]

    Great songs--perhaps classic songs--share the table with a few sub-par, albeit pleasant, offerings. [#13, p.84]

    In Colour's palette trades the silver hues of frosty Stockholm for the quivering bronze of cornfields in July. [Apr/May 2006, p.110]
  7. Full of quietly vibrant moments.

    As pretty and tuneful as In Colour is, though, happiness doesn't entirely suit Bergsman's aloof delivery. [7 Apr 2006, p.59]
  9. In Colour trades much of the punch from their first self-titled full-length for a more tender (is that even possible?) and reflective muse.
  10. The incessant hooklines cloy a little after repeated listens, but that’s hardly the most damning criticism of a pop band.
  11. The off-kilter choruses and softly-voiced lyrics take their time to reveal themselves.
  12. The result still falls within the confines of lilting indie pop but this time goes beyond cutesy pastiche.

    Tecnicolor Wall of Sound confections. [Apr 2006, p.96]
