  1. 8.0 |   DIY

    The record sounds new without challenging our tiny minds too much

  2. 7.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    There’s something very cocktails-by-the-pool about the cascading synths’ shimmer, tinkling pianos, big slick basslines and tripping and tumbling rhythms of Dive

  3. 7.0 |   Tone Deaf

    Diver conveys a maturity and capability for songwriting that had previously eluded the band, but passes with flying colours on this release

  4. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    Lemonade’s second album may alienate some of their harder edged electronic audience but the melancholy tinged pop hue they have taken on in Diver shows that they are a band that have no desire to simply restrict their songs to nightclubs and house parties

  5. 7.0 |   Spin

    Shapeshifting Brooklynites leave tropical-pop behind for frosty, synth-based slow-grinds where you can see your breath

  6. 7.0 |   NME

    Mostly total bliss session
    Read Review

  7. 6.8 |   Pitchfork

    Constitutes a daring leap for Lemonade, one that, at times, appears destined to result in a belly-flop, but recovers nicely in the end

  8. 6.7 |   Pretty Much Amazing

  9. 6.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    This is a safe record that sets up boundaries on a band that refused to acknowledge them for years

  10. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Diver isn’t a whole lot more than a potentially thought-provoking record rife with as many missteps as it is original ideas helping it emerge as just above average

  11. 6.0 |   All Music

    For nice background music that’s not overly engaging or challenging, Diver will satisfy your needs

  12. 6.0 |   Bowlegs

    If you’re after ten soothing, expertly produced, well-crafted pop gems, look no further
    Read Review

  13. 6.0 |   Q

    Diver's appeal is immediate, its effect short and sharp. Print edition only

  14. 6.0 |   Rave Magazine

    It’s all very pleasant listening, to be sure, but thoroughly insubstantial – as though Lemonade chose not only to plunder the surface of ‘80s adult-contemporary but also its substance, to

  15. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    Diver lacks any sort of original angle, but that doesn’t really matter with songs that plumb such enjoyable depths
    Read Review

  16. 4.0 |   God Is In The TV

    It too frequently bleeds over from the harmless tropical pop it peddles into a series of pompous ballads sans the catchy hooks; a slew of hipster slow jams for the uninspired
