  1. New Musical Express (NME)
    80
    As curious a party piece that is, it rather overshadows their phenomenal way with gorgeous melodies and heart-melting harmonies.
  2. Uncut
    80
    They have bell-clear voices, and a spooky ability to envince naivety and world-weariness in the same breath. [Feb 2010, p.88]

  3. Drowned In Sound
    60
    While there are tracks of beauty and wonder, there are duller moments too, where the history that First Aid Kit derive their music from overwhelms their songs, reminding us always of what came before.
