  1. Senior makes a strong claim to be 2010's best electronic album. It's a record to lie back and drown in.
  2. While some of the tracks sound like rough sketches that were simply given a bit more shading, most of Senior captivates as a full-length experience.
  3. It can't be said that Senior fails to meet its modest wallpaper-ish aims, yet it hardly represents the best Royksopp has to offer.

    There's still a feeling that the two albums might have worked better as one. [Nov 2010, p.114]
  5. It is pleasant, and largely forgettable.

    The patient, thoughtful strokes here are sometimes interesting but rarely exciting.

    Maybe it's just its drastic contrast with the chirpy and pop-friendly Junior that makes Senior seem so dreary, but even out of context, Royksopp's latest seems like a poor, thoroughly underdeveloped and, dare I say it, unfinished effort.

    Not as good as Junior or the other records, but it is still good. Not very "danceable" music, but it's music to listen relaxed; without anyNot as good as Junior or the other records, but it is still good. Not very "danceable" music, but it's music to listen relaxed; without any sounds near, just you and Senior. Expand
