    I was underwhelmed by In Colour. It sounds like a mixture between Washed Out and Tycho. I had high expectations prior to listening, but I simply was not that interested after several listens.

    The music is pleasant enough but the Jamie XX sound is starting to sound stale and rarely enters truly captivating territory making this album a great choice for inoffensive background music at the bars this summer but not an album that does a very good job at leaving a lasting impact.

    Great album! I love the texture he creates with his sound. The guest features by XX members are great. The album flows really well and the song genres are varied. I also loved his use of samples. Young Thug's appearance is also great. I recommend this album.

    A modern pop echo chamber, In Colour pushes the pleasure principle with ease, intelligence, grace, and a myriad of reflections that become one spectrum. RIYL: anything.

    While the tale and methods of In Colour are well-worn, Jamie XX, like Burial and Four Tet before him, proves himself a master storyteller.

    As it moves from reflective to engaging and back again, In Colour covers the entire spectrum of Jamie xx's music, delivering flashes of brilliance along the way.
