  4. 8.0 |   NME

    The Courteeners have developed the ability to, at points, blow away tribal allegiances with hooks forged from pure indie gold

  5. 7.0 |   The Fly

    ...there’s far more mileage in The Courteeners than their naysayers might like to admit

  6. 6.0 |   Scotland on Sunday

    Vocally Liam Fray sounds like a less impassioned Jarvis Cocker. Sadly he can't lyrically lace the great man's pointy boots

  7. 4.0 |   The Times

    Fray’s eagerness to dish up his heart on a platter at every opportunity is enough to make the most indulgent of agony aunts order him to man up and pull himself together

    Print edition only

  13. 4.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    ...you have to doubt that this attempt to prove themselves more mature will get The Courteeners the respect they think they deserve

  14. 2.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Just about anything is an improvement over this watered down, recycled brand of arena rock
