  1. Drowned In Sound

    Make Another World finds Idlewild balancing their twin loves of volatile angst-rock and vivacious indie-pop neatly and professionally.
  2. Pitchfork

    A lot of Make Another World doesn't stick the way good guitar pop should.
  3. Entertainment Weekly
    91
    On Make Another World, Idlewild dare listeners to ignore them with thrashing tracks like the punk/disco mash-up ''No Emotion.''
  5. PopMatters
    70
    At ten songs and just 35 minutes, Make Another World puts its weaker songs into sharp focus, but the best songs and the band’s determination keep winning you over.
  6. Uncut

    The powerful tunes make this an odd thing: a subtle album, fit for stadiums. [Mar 2007, p.83]

    There's nothing radically different on offer, but fans will take heart from the sound of a band re-energised. [Mar 2007, p.112]

    Easily one of their best albums - tracks like Make Another World make me jump and cry for joy!

    Great improvement on Warnings/Promises almost as good as 100 Broken windows, but not quite

    More like the old Idlewild - not up to the standard of 100 Broken Widows, but a welcome and drastic improvement over Warnings/Promises
