Q MagazineMar 18, 2014Too Much Information is a brisk and accessible record. [Apr 2014, p.114]

UncutFeb 3, 2014Smith's lyrical flights of fancy come off somewhat top-heavy, but by and large such bookish pretentions feel like something to appreciate, not castigate. [Mar 2014, p.79]

Alternative PressFeb 20, 2014Too Much Information has just the right balance of depth, maturity and consistency to ensure success. [Mar 2014, p.93]

Jan 31, 2014In Too Much Information, they’ve made easily the most interesting and eclectic album of their career--they just didn’t quite include enough of those heartwarming hooks to make it their best.
