    This is ambitious, outward-looking pop unafraid to play by its own rules. [Aug 2016, p.102]

    Occasionally it sounds like the worst sort of shallow, awfully English electronic funk, but mostly the seductive cradle-rock rhythms drag you in deeper, like quicksand for the ears.

    Ultimately, while some fans may miss Beaty Heart's previous bent toward tropical indie rock jams, it's difficult to imagine anyone not swooning over the focused, nuanced pop craftsmanship.

    Their sound is by no means unique, and it’s not hard to detect some Metronomy and Jungle in there, but they’ve certainly raised their game to the point where they sit at the same table as their arguably more illustrious peers.

    Scratch the surface, though, and some crushingly average songs lie beneath. Lots of interesting sounds, sure, but these collide rather than connect.

    Full-bodied production is at the heart, though takes nothing away from the more laid back moments.

    The falsetto vocals can sound glibly glossy, but as mainstream alternative to Animal Collective they'll go far. [Sep 2016, p.99]
