  2. 8.0 |   NME

    Pop in a tar-pit – black and sticky, but wonderfully pure at heart
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   Mojo

    Their melodic jangle is a cut above most of their contemporaries. Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   BBC

    With these perfect nuggets of hormonal pop, Pete & The Pirates may not be courageous or sophisticated but they will make you want to jump around the room

    The spirit of 1979 burns bright
    Read Review

  6. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    Switches stance with the directness of The Undertones or Buzzcocks, exhibiting the band's rock adroitness, gimmick aversion and underlying sense of fun
