  1. 8.0 |   The Fly

    The size of the forwards step that ‘Mostly No’ represents is knighthood-worthy
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    If Mostly No lacks genuine innovation, the album more than compensates with a radiating glow of veneration
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   Q

    Chirpy, nihilistic and great. Print edition only

  4. 7.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Milk Maid’s second album in a year sees songwriter Martin Cohen ploughing darker depths, but it’s never a downer when the music’s as sweet and self-assured as this

  5. 7.5 |   Prefix

    Put Kurt Vile's doe-eyed earnestness inside a vintage getup of steam and surf and you'd get a little something like this
    Read Review

  6. 7.0 |   BBC

    Songwriter Martin Cohen is in thrall to his influences, but this is a strong second LP
    Read Review

  7. 6.8 |   Pitchfork

    A record that eschews any manic highs or crushing lows in favor of an affable sort of middle ground
    Read Review

  8. 6.0 |   The Skinny

    Generally, the louder and faster Cohen and band play, the better they sound
    Read Review

  9. 6.0 |   The Arts Desk

    This stripped-back approach is in fact the deliberate work of a very skilled songwriter
    Read Review

  10. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    Part dreamy British indie and part frazzled US psych-rock, albeit perhaps never quite as dreamy or frazzled as it could have been
    Read Review

  11. 6.0 |   Bowlegs

    Although Mostly No is a strong, highly enjoyable set of Anglo-American rocking, it may suffer from not being notably distinctive
    Read Review

  12. 6.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    An occasionally intriguing cocktail of baggy and grunge
    Read Review

  13. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    This sounds like merely the beginning of a revitalising evolution of Milk Maid, because even though Mostly No is good, it's not quite good enough

  14. 5.0 |   AU Review

    Mostly No is often likeable but, unfortunately, it is never remarkable enough to really warrant the time
    Read Review

  15. 5.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    There are many excellent, surfy noise rock albums that eclipse Mostly No, but Cohen’s laid-back vocals and howling guitar are enough to merit at least a listen
