    M&K are as happy as you're used to hearing. Their sound never changes too drastically. Rather, it evolves. "Lighning" is a good evolution from "Sidewalks".

    Lightning occasionally dips into the annoyingly upbeat. [Oct/Nov 2012, p.129]

    In the context of Matt & Kim's discography, Lightning is inconsequential. Like an echo of an echo, there's nothing here that Matt & Kim haven't already done over and over again.

    The other songs beg for remixes, guest vocalists or anything to give them more depth. [Nov 2012, p.92]
