This isn't just a novel idea that is haphazardly hashed out but rather, the work of two impeccable musicians and it's a fine addition to either musician's catalog and a brilliant one at that.
-
It's a stunning record, a must-have even, but it fails to turn musical excellence into cultural significance and may end up being played in branches of Borders rather than in bedrooms everywhere.

Equal parts 007-intrigue and spaghetti western-histrionics, this is music at its most cinematic.

Under The RadarThe Age Of The Understatement is just plain good fun. [Spring 2008, p.78]

Pallet deserves equal billing for his album arrangements, which lend The Age of Understatement its epic splendor.
-
The up-tempo numbers are great fun, but the Puppets excel on the ballads, which they croon in lovely tight harmony. [May 2008, p.100]

This might be news to the Arctic Monkeys’ Alex Turner, but for every artist there’s a point where aspiration exceeds ability. The Last Shadow Puppets, his new studio dalliance with pal Miles Kane, have way overshot it on The Age Of The Understatement.
