Sep 30, 2016Maier’s urbane persona is as funny, funky and disquieting as ever, and this album is a righteously fresh addition to their catalogue.
-
UncutSep 28, 2016Surreal humour, suave style and deluxe Europop make for a potent comeback. [Nov 2016, p.40]
-
MojoSep 28, 2016It's easily their best work. [Nov 2016, p.94]

Oct 7, 2016Toy doesn't sound especially innovative, but it certainly demonstrates that Yello haven't been resting on their laurels, and at its best, the album applies new thinking in electronic pop with the melodic and production approaches that have always been part of Yello's music, for a set that's fresh but unmistakably their work.

Oct 11, 2016This latest Toy of theirs is a lot of fun, even if it could have been better still had Meier had been given a bigger part.
-
Q MagazineSep 28, 2016It doesn't eclipse their finest work, but if Toy is to be their farewell, it's a fine way to go. [Nov 2016, p.114]

Oct 7, 2016Dieter Meier’s vocals are a little grizzled but retain their dark chocolate vibes. He’s the bohemian who’s seen it all but can’t stop partying, reflecting this in the lyrics. He does however need a few disco naps, these being filled adequately by party guests.
