  1. Delusions of Adequacy
    90
    I’m not sure what stands out the most about The Cover Up, whether it’s the tremendous production values or the clear confidence the band has with its music.
  2. PopMatters
    80
    The Cover Up is musically more ambitious than the band's previous efforts.
  3. Billboard
    80
    One of the most shiny and potent--albeit melancholy--synth-pop albums of the year.
  4. Under The Radar
    60
    They're certainly not reinventing the disco ball here, but [Dykes and Geller] are generally successful in putting a human face on the almost too-polished arrangements. [#7]
