MagnetAug 2, 2013The whole affair has the energy of a younger band, one just starting on its first album rather than an act 30 years old. [No. 99, p.53]

Aug 2, 2013Feels Like A New Morning is an apt title, because verve and a freshly recovered confidence seep from the Blow Monkeys’ eighth studio set.

MojoAug 2, 2013It's tempting to surmise that the songwriting has improved since the Smash Hits years, but an extra CD of acoustically played hits--shorn of period production--reminds you that they were always this good. [Jun 2013, p.86]

Q MagazineAug 2, 2013The third album since the band's 2007's reunion is low on overt politics, but high on autumnal jazz, Bacharach-ian swing, easy-going funk and relaxed charm. [Jun 2013, p.93]
