    EVE has the undeniable edge in vitality when compared to More!, the duo's previous album, and there's much more depth and variety.

    Whilst previous albums were energetic and exuberant in scope, Eve largely lacks the duo’s trademark vigour and moments of originality.

    Eve is no ground-breaker, but Booka Shade’s solid reputation remains safe.

    Their obsession remains with sounds rather than songs, with every digitised boom, click, and ping picked out in arresting detail. [Dec 2013, p.103]

    Some isolated moments make you want to vom a bit--Groove Armada trombone on ‘Many Rivers’--but ‘Love Inc’ neatly reworks a snatch of Lil Louis’ house classic ‘Club Lonely’ into insistent Balearica, and you can’t argue with that.

    Eve sounds self-referential, dated and pretty low on ideas.
