8.0 | Independent on Sunday

An album whose lineage can be traced back to Kraftwerk

Heartfelt themes of loss and yearning, paired with gorgeous melodies and tough rhythms. Print edition only

This really is very good. Print edition only

Mirrors deserve to sit on pop's precipice not because of their great hooks, or good looks, but because of their spirit

8.0 | The Irish Times

If their influences are splayed across a heavily worn sleeve, no matter, the songs are sufficiently slick

8.0 | AU Review

If you dance to the likes of Kraftwerk, Japan and Spandau Ballet, then this is right up your street. Very impressive

6.0 | Drowned In Sound

They might be brilliant at what they do but at the centre of Lights and Offerings thrums a glass heart

Nice and easy on the ear, which isn’t a crime is it?

6.0 | Q

Mirrors' songs aren't as catchy as early Depeche Mode's, aren't as fabulous as Kraftwerk's. Print edition only
5.0 22855
5.0 | DIY

As with any authentic copy of what’s gone past, the album is positively bursting with cliché

5.0 | NME

The polish starts to dull rather quickly

4.0 | The Line Of Best Fit

At over six minutes it’s almost as long a Rick Wakeman solo and just as tiresome
