  1. The A.V. Club

    Simian Mobile Disco's astounding track record as a remix powerhouse is due in no small part to the group's mastery of mood, and Temporary Pleasure benefits greatly from this.
  2. Dot Music

    Underpinning all these is a formidable talent for beats and synths most audible on glacial instrumental '10,000 Horses Can't Be Wrong.' It's this that makes Temporary Pleasure so strong and tightly knit and it's the reason it has enough minor-key disco stomps to keep us dancing all through autumn.

    Overall it's pleasurable, audacious even, but hardly world changing. [Sep 2009, p.102]
