    After years of the slow build, the release is here. Believe the hype.

    For now, let’s revel in the fact there’s a record that swings from sumptuous sprawls to ear-sizzling riffs.

    My Love Is Cool is volatile, but it’s also invigorating, charming, and hugely exciting for what it promises.

    There's a Jekyll and Hyde quality to Wolf Alice's debut that gently reels you in with its gossamer folk pop and lilting indie-pop before it going for the jugular with savage bursts of psycho-grunge guitars. [Jul 2015, p.84]

    They don’t quite sound like the finished article, but there is a virtuous sense of their trying to make music in service of something profound.

    The confident diversity of My Love Is Cool indicates a band who have their own thing all figured out, who shouldn't veer from their own strange path to live up to outdated narratives that dictate what a young British band should be.

    Ultimately proves hard to get a handle on. [Jul 2015, p.96]

    What can be said about Wolf Alice that hasn't been said already. We know Ellie is great. We know they have potential. So did they deliver inWhat can be said about Wolf Alice that hasn't been said already. We know Ellie is great. We know they have potential. So did they deliver in My Love Is Cool? I so rarely hand out 10s nowadays, but this album deserves it. Should I even make the effort to list every bright spot? "Bros" "Moaning Lisa Smile" "Freazy" "Giant Peach" "Fluffy". Simply incredible. Many bands go trough an entire career without 5 songs as good as these, let alone all 5 being in the same album. I like what I hear from Wolf Alice. Only one question remains: is this their peak?… Expand

So many tracks on here are an absolute blast to listen to, from the phenomenal heavier headbangers (Giant Peach, Fluffy, Moaning Lisa Smile) to the absolutely perfect duo Lisbon and Silk or gorgeous post-rock/grunge blend Swallowtail. The only below-average song would be Freazy, which is kind of forgettable, but the rest of the record is going to blow you away.… Expand

It contains memorable tracks, good lyrics and something special that every song has in order to give an special meaning and identify with at least one of them. The album is really versatile, it plays with different rhythms and sound in every track. They manage to make an album with unique songs.
