    The songs have a sort of likeable innocence; humanistic and quirky. ... Nothing not to like here. [Apr 2022, p.84]

    The music can be deadpan and serious at times, but Magazine 1 gives the running impression that it was a huge amount of fun in the making.
  3. Uncut

    Old-school techno beats dominate as Flür cuts a dance-pop swathe through his own history and back. [Apr 2022, p.26]
  4. Classic Rock Magazine

    With elegant electronics and playful retro-futurism, as on the tile track and Electric Sheep, Flür reminds these days of Dieter Meier and Yello. [Apr 2022, p.77]

    It's all in good fun, and there are some definite highlights, but Magazine 1 is more of a nostalgia exercise than a genuinely remarkable album.
