  1. 9.0 |   DIY

    An album of admirable cohesion and undeniable vibrancy
    Read Review

  2. 8.5 |   BBC

    It would be a crying shame if a record so accomplished, relevant and unifying never gets to be heard. Because, right now, this album is necessary

  3. 8.0 |   Daily Telegraph

    He’s less intent on blowing your ears off with dancehall’s battery, than offering his own, still highly piquant take on slow-grind r&b

  4. 8.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Pinballs between moments of preening boisterousness, humour, ostentation and soulful sophistication with such good-natured glee it's hard not to get involved

  5. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    A fine second outing from a promising young producer

  6. 7.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Watch Me Dance is at times lucid, other times congested, indicative of a young beatsmith still finding his feet
    Read Review

  7. 7.0 |   NME

    Finds Toddla T cementing an identity as a producer – 10 years from now, it might be seen as an important stepping stone to greatness

  8. 7.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Deftly blends a range of distinctly UK musical traditions (dubstep, bass music, bashment, fidget house, and more than a touch of Jamaican immigrant dancehall) into a rich stew

  9. 6.5 |   Pitchfork

    An album that aims for radio and clubs alike instead of shooting for the overload of songs geared strictly toward bassbins

  10. 6.0 |   Q

    He remains most at home firing off raucous riddims. rint edition only

  11. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Toddla has Jamaican culture coming out of his pores. Print edition only

  12. 6.0 |   The Digital Fix

    It’s occasionally diverting, but undoubtedly disappoints after such a strong opening

  13. 6.0 |   The Fly

    A solid second album
    Read Review

  14. 6.0 |   The Observer

    Good fun in small measures
    Read Review

  15. 6.0 |   Clash

    A mixed bag that’s perhaps polluted with Toddla’s inevitable fame and fortune
    Read Review

  16. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    A raucous affair that mainly sticks with the jumpy dancehall/bassline sound of his firs
    Read Review

  17. 6.0 |   The Independent

    Lacks the personality to become a household name
    Read Review

  18. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    A game of two halves, with one definitely worth the price of admission
    Read Review

  19. 5.0 |   Bowlegs

    Feels like a mediocre mixtape that lacks an edge of any sorts
    Read Review

  20. 4.0 |   State

    Front-loaded with the bouncy and very danceable singles ‘Watch Me Dance’ and ‘Take It Back’, it then peaks in one or two more places, but limps to the finish
