Q MagazineJan 29, 2015This is music which feels as though it needs to be tethered down, lest it slip its moorings and float higher than the sun. [Mar 2015, p.115]

Mar 4, 2015It’s a honey-coated gem of funk-infused pop, and when it shines, it’s a disco ball, a ’70s disco full of glorious hooks, where Gikling and Santos’ vocals balance one another in the most beautiful way.

UncutFeb 27, 2015By the end of the album, you crave some drama, what you're left with is actually pretty serene. [Apr 2015, p.69]

Feb 5, 2015The album works best as moody sonic wallpaper that's very pretty and soothing. Maybe next time out, the trio will work more on getting deeper and delivering more emotion, but for now this well-crafted, easy to swallow debut works well enough.

Feb 2, 2015All We Are can be a somewhat tough album to get a grip on, because it invites musical styles that seem to be set in opposition to one another to find chemistry, resulting in a genre that can really only be described in apparently oxymoronic hybrid terms like "discogaze" or "slowfunk."

Jan 29, 2015It’s dreamy without being a sonic sedative; vaguely psychedelic and hypnotic without zapping energy levels.

Feb 6, 2015Aspects of the record come off slightly muddled.

MojoFeb 2, 2015This trio's future pop debut is almost synthetically pristine. [Feb 2015, p.96]

Under The RadarJan 29, 2015If there's a drag to this first record, it's that it lacks many distinctive tent-pole tracks beyond the two previously mentioned [songs: I Wear You and Keep Me Alive]. [Nov-Dec 2014, p.62]

Feb 2, 2015ll We Are makes a stylish first impression, showing up so impeccably tailored that you wonder if it secretly fears all of that fumbling human contact that could mess things up.... Meanwhile, the back half of All We Are is filled with slow jams that barely stir from a post-coital heap.

Mar 11, 2015All We Are has potential, but it's squandered on their debut in an attempt to make a spacey, moody soundtrack.
