    Bid's disaffected-yet-engaging vocals and slice-of-life lyrics remain compelling as ever. [No. 118, p.59]

    The band does what it does best, which is couch surreal oddity in unstoppable catchiness.

    There really are spaces everywhere, and most would be better served if they were filled with Monochrome Set albums.

    Spaces Everywhere has arch, but craft aplenty. [Apr 2015, p.80]

    Spaces Everywhere is a deliriously upbeat 40 or so minutes of quality indie guitar music and The Monochrome Set continue to await your recognition.
  6. Throughout, singer Bid's smooth baritone paints intriguing vignettes ("He was the best thing that you've ever seen in Swansea", goes 'When I Get To Hollywood'), adding colour to an already rich album.

    Quite possibly their most essential waxing since 1982’s irresistibly suave Eligible Bachelors.

    The Monochrome Set may have never been destined for MTV rotation like some of those New Wave peers of theirs, but MTV itself effectively died a long time ago, while the Monochrome Set are still making highly enjoyable albums.

    Bid and his crew are real pros, totally confident.

    Notwithstanding the occasional banjo and flute intrusion, in essence this remains flamboyant, '60s-tinged guitar pop, forever poised equidistant between accessibility and inscrutability. [Apr 2015, p.93]

    Ultimately Spaces Everywhere is a record that sparkles with little hints of wit, unconventional beauty and musical verve, but they shine so brightly because of the mediocrity that surrounds them.
