  1. 8.5 |   The 405

    It may be quite basic musically, with most songs revolving around pleasant piano chords, precise guitar lines and truly great vocals, but Point of Go certainly brings some summer cheer to the beginning of spring

  3. 8.0 |   BBC

    Streamlining has done them good, as has ignoring the need to be as brainy as possible, with classy and effortless-sounding results

  4. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    A big surprise, a feel-good pop-rock album that comes out of nowhere and brims with an excess of positive energy. This album is pure indie pop sunshine

  5. 7.0 |   NME

    It makes for fine pop music, yet you sense, somewhow, that there might be a reason why half the group left to go off and form Trophy Wife instead

  6. 6.0 |   DIY

    This is a good start but, after losing half of their line up, you get the feeling Jonquil need to add a bit more character, and a bit more bite, into their new pop noise

  7. 6.0 |   Q

    Shows they can brood with the best. Print edition only

  8. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    A decent, albeit flawed, transition album

  9. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    You'd struggle to pinpoint Jonquil's own unique features. But Point of Go's strong points are such that the album is worth hearing, and the next album worth waiting for
