    Doyle may not reach the incredible highs of his debut on this record, but it's a more consistent listen with several highlights (Turn Away, Carousel, Entirety, etc). One of the best albums of the year for me.

    Impressive and increasingly accessible, this is the sound of a major talent developing. [Jun 2015, p.104]

    He has a streak of the 1980s electro-pop songwriter in him, with an earnest tenor voice, a willingness to sustain ballad melodies and a fondness for disco thump that harks back to the Pet Shop Boys. The more those tendencies collide, the better he is.

    East India Youth has barely tinkered with the formula for his second full-length--a good thing. [May 2015, p.93]
