    It’s another uncategorisable and understated triumph.

    Same as You bears a less forceful signature than previous Polar Bear offerings, but it is also their most musically satisfying album.

    One can definitely hear that there is more than meets the ear between the lines of Same As You. The tension is latent but present nonetheless.

    Same As You isn’t going to be the most exciting release from Polar Bear you’ll hear, but it is a solid and entirely welcomd release from a band who rarely put a foot wrong.

    Somehow unconvincing, it's like beach bar escapism spliced with an incidental tune from the TV comedy show The Mighty Boosh. [Mar 2015, p.60]
