    There Is Love In You, his first proper album in five years, is smoother still, and to great effect—if this isn’t the best Four Tet record yet, it’s certainly a fresh face for Hebden.
  2. AllMusic

    Overall, There Is Love in You has the spartan precision of Phillip Glass but also, surprisingly, the warmth and vitality of classic Cluster as well.
  3. Drowned In Sound

    In There is Love in You we see one of the last decade’s most early pioneers reminding us all that he’s still just as important as ever.
  4. Mojo

    Unlike the super-saturated rush of Everything Ecstatic, There Is Love In You radiates a mellow subtlety, the wonderfully named She Just Like To Fight a twinkling pastoral while the luscious groove of Plastic People pushes its most interesting clicks and skitters to the periphery.

    Hebden has yet again created a wonderful space where he can rightfully be called sui generis.

    There is Love in You renders "Ringer" primer, posits itself as perfect solution to messy experimentation, and while it’s hard to find the divisiveness in that, it’s also hard to be truly moved.
  7. Austin Chronicle
    40
    The result's a bit half-baked, which is disappointing when you know Hebden's capable of far more spirited adventures in sound.

The electronica man returns with a very catchy collection of song. pitch shifted vocals, beeps and bleeps, synths and some amazing samples. Considering this is a late review this is a great starting point for people who aren't familiar with Four Tet's work. Highly recommend such tracks as 'Angel Echoes' and 'Circling'. Truly an amazing album. 10/10… Collapse

It is unapologetic in its strive for movement and rhythm yet does not abuse the listeners sensibilities with an assault of discordant noise.

Hebden transports the organic sounds of his earlier folktronica works into a more danceable arena, filling the empty space with colourful synthesizers and melodious vocal samples. Every song defines its own mood, and every single one of them evolves gradually into something new as time passes. You can't mistake this music for anything else. It has the Four Tet signature all over it. That can't be a bad thing.… Expand
