    Thank Your Lucky Stars is not inherently a bad record, but the problem is it's not compelling neither. The songs are drab, uneventful and nothing really comes out as outstanding. All the songs are pretty much run of the mill Beach House, just less exciting and more samey.

    Overshadowed by the superior "depression cherry" ,"thank your lucky stats " is a forgettable though above average dream pop shoegaze haze that is worth listening even if it's bound to not leave an impression.

    For while it’s hard to begrudge any quality new release by a band of Beach House’s eminence, for a fan base still attuning itself to the subtle charms of Depression Cherry, this flawed follow-up might have been better served up refined and polished at a later date.

    Beach House's second album in three months underlines just how precision-stylised their frosty, often glacially-slow dream-pop has become. [Jan 2016, p.88]

    Coming so soon after Depression Cherry, it would be easy to dismiss Thank Your Lucky Stars as a mere postscript, but, if anything, it's the more impressive of the pair. [Jan 2016, p.72]
