    All things considered, this is an impressive debut album from Rizzle Kicks.

    Ska, country and 80s hip-hop are the cute soundbed for quickfire lyrics that reveal them to be typical teenage boys.

    By bypassing the commonplace put-downs of peers and proffering a very British take on pop-flavoured rap, is an accomplished and infectious introduction to some rightly rising talents.

    Rizzle Kicks are a pop prospect with a winning charm you just can't teach. [Dec. 2011 p. 137]
