  1. 8.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    While most bands lurch from musical brilliance to atrocity and back, Gomez never slip below solid

  2. 8.0 |   Q

    May not be their most ambitious album, bit it's one of their finest. Print edition only

  3. 7.3 |   Paste Magazine

    The album would be excellent if the choruses and lyrics possessed as much charisma as the verses

  4. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Another good effort from a great band who are coming close to veteran status

  5. 7.0 |   God Is In The TV

    It’s clear there are still deep wells of interesting ideas among the band’s four songwriters, that could keep them churning out albums this good for a long time to come. Here’s hoping they do

  6. 7.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Simple choruses, catchy hooks and heartfelt lyrics
    Read Review

  7. 6.0 |   BBC

    It’s a perfectly decent pop record with some pretty melodies, but it lacks the sparkle that once made this band compelling to listen to

    Print edition only

  10. 6.0 |   Spin

    Quirky, anything-goes arrangements

  11. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    Decent enough, as albums go, but you feel it's been preceded by too many slight returns to make new ground this time around

  12. 6.0 |   Slant Magazine

    More of what we've come to expect from the band, sashaying through a number of sounds and styles and, as ever, finishing it off with the distinctive Gomez veneer

  13. 6.0 |   AU Review

    Too lightweight to haul the band back into the mainstream

  14. 6.0 |   State

    A treat for fans of Gomez and lovers of well crafted pop music

  15. 5.5 |   Bowlegs

    Falls short from the giddy highs created on ‘Bring it On’

  16. 4.0 |   The Skinny

    Sounds something like a less adventurous version of Wilco
    Read Review

  17. 2.9 |   Pitchfork

    This album's lyrics reach a fascinating fulcrum where laziness can actually become an act of aggression

  18. 2.0 |   PopMatters
