  1. 10.0 |  The Skinny

    It’s 2010 people, we are now officially in the future and Four Tet has got the soundtrack off to a superb start
    Read Review

  2. 10.0 |  The Times

    The groundbreaking electronic producer Kieran Hebden’s fifth album as Four Tet is a career high
    Read Review

  3. 9.0 |  Clash

    If you love the ambiguous crossover between half-step London sounds and crushed and warped 4/4 peddled by the likes of Martyn, Burial or Joy Orbison, then the love in you will find this album
    Read Review

  4. 9.0 |  Drowned In Sound

    ...in There is Love in You we see one of the last decade’s most early pioneers reminding us all that he’s still just as important as ever
    Read Review

  5. 9.0 |  music OMH

    Even the most curmudgeonly critic will find it hard not to raise a smile or breathe a contented sigh, for this is a true antidote to January living as we know it
    Read Review

  6. 9.0 |  The Quietus

    It never forgets the value of melody and refuses to sacrifice this notion for the sake of relentless beats. This is an album to return to time and again and one that will doubtless be ubiquitous in those end-of-year round-ups we've just left behind
    Read Review

  7. 8.7 |  onethirtybpm

    Four Tet’s music is glassy and earthy; it’ll dazzle you with its shiny contours while it humbles you with its firm commitment to subtlety and grounding in humanity
    Read Review

  8. 8.6 |  Pitchfork

    ...it's both heady and physical, subtle but powerful music for thinking and moving or ideally doing both at the same time: It's been a while since a brisk walk through the city sounded this good

  12. 8.0 |  Rave Magazine

    While sometimes it feels as though Hebden has kept only his lightweight work for himself, There Is Love In You is, nevertheless, an entirely idiosyncratic and beautiful creation
    Read Review

  13. 8.0 |  The Music Fix

    It might disappoint final year fashion students wanting to tap their middle finger in time to the overtly complex rhythms of old, but it’s the most cohesive and enjoyable thing he’s done thus far
    Read Review

  14. 8.0 |  The Irish Times

    There are stylistic flourishes we haven’t heard from Hebden in a while...But there’s as much newness as familiarity, making this Four Tet’s most accessible work to date
    Read Review

  15. 8.0 |  Evening Standard

    Once again Hebden has managed to be experimental without losing the human touch
    Read Review

  16. 8.0 |  The Observer

    Kieran Hebden has further refined the glistening synthesis of acoustic samples and laptop beats
    Read Review

  17. 8.0 |  Observer Music Monthly

    ...the power to delight someone who has never listened to a Kraftwerk record all the way through, just as much as those who know their Walter from their Wendy Carlos
    Read Review

  18. 8.0 |  The Sunday Times

    ...demonstrate both Hebden’s lightness of touch and his innate sense of allusion and textural darkness
    Read Review

  19. 8.0 |  Tiny Mix Tapes

    ...the album is a joy, embracing the idea of dance music, not as a bare idea, but by virtue of having lived in it
    Read Review

  20. 8.0 |  The Line Of Best Fit

    It’s still far from conventional – ‘Plastic People’ veers towards the mellower side of Aphex Twin – but it’s a long player that you can wallow and immerse yourself in, and let play out to its end
    Read Review

  21. 8.0 |  Blurt

    There Is Love In You stirs and sweeps, its loop-centric tapestries as lively and as affecting as its uncoiling electronic flourishes
    Read Review

  22. 8.0 |  Pop Matters

    Hebden has yet again created a wonderful space where he can rightfully be called sui generis
    Read Review

  23. 8.0 |  State

    Hebden’s power seems to lie in stringing the listener along as he coaxes us through myriad genres and sounds, never isolating or alienating
    Read Review

  24. 7.0 |  Spin

    ...signals Hebden's return to meticulous melodicism
    Read Review

  25. 7.0 |  No Ripcord

    Four Tet envisions the lushness of a song, and sonically creates a buoyant, lighthearted blend – a complete album for the lively and lighthearted

  27. 6.0 |  NME

    This LP could have injected some creativity back into 4/4, instead it settles for quaintness

  28. 6.0 |  Eye Weekly

    This is dance music made for adventurous limbs

  1. Loving that Love Cry track. Great beats. I'm glad he's moved on from the folktronica feel

    Report abuse

  2. i thought Pause was the best Four Tet album until i heard this, which does lean more to the jazz side of his work, but hey... Really nice production as tomstan says.

    Report abuse

  3. Was never all that keen on his jazzy improv stuff but he's a bloody ace producer when he sticks to the elelctronica.
    Good to have the man back on form based on the youtube stuff
