    Eight of these nine tracks constitute the best album for night driving under city street-lights since Growler's estimable ‘City Club’.

    The slow-burners can drag, but it peaks again on Down and Eno-ish Waiting. [Jul 2017, p.96]

    At times, the band's obvious affection for moody, Joy Division-esque post-punk feels a little too heavy-handed, but amid their ongoing sonic evolution there's some solid songwriting.

    Producer Kwesi Sey has upped the dramatic ante throughout. [Jul 2017, p.25]

    It's on the final track, Punch, however, that they reach a brand of strung-out, sun-soaked lamentation that feels entirely of their own making. If only there were a little bit more of that elsewhere. [Aug 2017, p.100]

    Sunny Hills is at its best when it keeps things simple, with the taut ‘Dreamer’ the clear standout; perhaps next time, All We Are won’t throw quite so many ideas at the wall, because few of them stick here.
