Leithauser's voice is its usual delicious scuffed-up howl, the music covers a broad indie-rock sprawl, but the focus here is the stories. [Jun 2020, p.102]- Q Magazine

Soft soul, gibbering jazz fusion and the cyber-futurism of overseer Flying Lotus still works a collective shock. [Jun 2020, p.96]- Q Magazine

It's a suitably schizophrenic listen, the bubblegum-pop attack of Wasted On You and Move To San Francisco contrasted with the soul-searching anxieties of the album's second half. [May 2020, p.100]- Q Magazine

Troy and Edwards bring some bite to the Lips' experimentation, keeping their more wayward indulgences in check while they do it. There's still a stellar breadth of sound and colour on offer. [May 2020, p.104]- Q Magazine

Princess Nokia's genre-surfing might be attention-grabbing, but it's her honesty, openness and clarity of expression that make her a musician you can really invest in. [May 2020, p.111]- Q Magazine
