  1. 7.0 |   Spin

    With increased confidence, these nascent super-producers could forge a new path for tripped-out, sparked-up music that'll get you lifted and uplifted
    Read Review

  2. 7.0 |   Prefix

    Ladies is a strong debut and, overall, it presents a pretty unique environment to get lost in. But before you can do that, you have to be willing to get there
    Read Review

  3. 6.5 |   The Quietus

    Ladies is at its best when Syd fosters something more palpable, whether it's a pointed emotion or an arresting piece of audio
    Read Review

  4. 6.0 |   Rolling Stone

    An endearingly scattershot take on spaced-out R&B, complete with drug fetishism and a load of moves apparently copped from the Neptunes
    Read Review

  5. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    The music exists at the outer limits of neo-soul. If Bennett's description, "Stevie Wonder on acid", is pushing it, it's still thrilling and origina
    Read Review

  6. 6.0 |   Q

    The songs prove stronger on atmosphere than hooks. Print edition only

  7. 6.0 |   No Ripcord

    An album which is both far too long and not nearly deep enough
    Read Review

  8. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    It's the most appealing entry point yet into Odd Future's dark world
    Read Review

  9. 6.0 |   The Observer

    This sprawling effort could sorely use some tightening up
    Read Review

  10. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    Sorely in need of a retouch and refocus
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   Pitchfork

    Like many spinoffs from the Odd Future machine, it's a small piece of a larger puzzle, useful for obsessives concerned with keeping their catalogs up to date
    Read Review

  12. 5.8 |   Pretty Much Amazing

    Syd tha Kid has yet to find her own intangible path on the edge of producer and performer
    Read Review

  13. 5.8 |   A.V. Club

    Without that blessed cohesion that is the groove, Purple Naked Ladies is an alternately jaggy and listless dream, rather than the narcotic romp it is meant to be
    Read Review

  14. 4.0 |   PopMatters

    When the Internet do short and romantic, their songs are tight and purposeful. Other stylistic excursions don’t work out as well
    Read Review

  15. 3.8 |   The Digital Fix

    Syd Tha Kid comes off as an painfully uninteresting protagonist — one who only sings about trite subject matters
    Read Review

  16. 3.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    When you boil it down, Purple Naked Ladies‘ biggest fault is that it’s generic. There’s little flavor and hardly any spice
