  1. 8.0 |   Evening Standard

    Kivel's deep, bored voice adds a melancholy feel to even the shiniest moments. He can be banal but he's also never far from an absurdly pretty tune

  2. 8.0 |   Rave Magazine

    The Heart Of The Nightlife is ideal for lazy, laid-back summer listening

  3. 7.4 |   Beats Per Minute

    It’s the kind of album that doesn’t get in your head or under your skin but you still remember it well when you think back on it

  4. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    The cheaply recorded dreamy indie-disco is distinct, warm, welcoming, and thoroughly escapist

  5. 7.0 |   Pitchfork

    Kisses' lovedrunk geniality and aversion to melodrama keeps the merely cute Heart of the Nightlife from toppling over into the dreaded cutesiness

  6. 7.0 |   BBC

    You can indulge in some tropical fantasies and island pleasures but don’t expect it to retain your interest for the entire season

  10. 4.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    With more depth and crafting this could send shivers and be beautiful. Right now, however, it merely ticks a box
