May 2, 2013It sounds fantastic throughout; there's just the right mix of intense dance floor dynamics and reverential sounds.
-
UncutMay 2, 2013Too many of these frictionless Eurodisco makeweights only prove that great, urgent, heart-tugging electro-pop is easy to stimulate but difficult to pull off successfully. [Jun 2013, p.75]

May 3, 2013There's plenty of interesting stuff going on throughout.

Alternative PressMay 2, 2013The second half of the album loses momentum due to the overly long, soggy pop of "Crescendo" and "Strangers," although Nocturnes recovers nicely on the flawless synth-pop jam "All For You," where Hesketh shows off her dramatic, emotive vocals. [Jun 2013, p.98

May 7, 2013Hesketh's shrewd choice of collaborators is often squandered on rather rudimentary song structures and lyrical ideas. That doesn't make Nocturnes any less enjoyable of a dance-pop album, but it's ultimately what will keep Little Boots from becoming the next Madonna, or the next Robyn for that matter.

May 6, 2013Little Boots’ hooks rarely fall flat but can’t fully take off, either--they’re chained to the dance floor.

Q MagazineMay 13, 2013Choruses fizzle, lyrics fail to engage and every song is at least a minute too long. [Jun 2013, p.102]
