The sisters' much-delayed third record is more than worth the wait: it's somehow punky, vulnerable and soothing – and a thing of great beauty

Northern Transmissions
This is a rare record that is at once the biggest dance party you’ve heard and the most beautifully sad thing as well. If you let it, it’ll touch your heart and make you scream- sing your lungs out, and honestly, could we ever hope for anything more?

This zeitgeist-friendly genre-hopping proves the trio are moving with the times, but it's satisfying to note that when they return to their starkly simple, powerful melodic trademark sound on closer Hallelujah, Haim remain in a league of their own. Print edition only

Loud And Quiet
The final trio of ‘Now I’m In It’, ‘Hallelujah’ and ‘Summer Girl’ is among the best run of songs Haim have ever presented; it’s the preceding uneven 40 minutes of variously good, bad and downright ugly songwriting that, unfortunately, lets the side down
