  1. 8.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Induces a heady sense of perpetual forward motion, whether graceful or full pelt. Stunning

  2. 8.0 |   Spin

    There's a grandeur and purity of intent to the whole doofy concept that prove hard to resist
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   NME

    This album really shouldn’t work. That it does is down to Kavinsky’s painstaking production and his dark vision of the place where rock and electro meet

  4. 8.0 |   The Skinny

    A long-incubating debut, but Outrun proves to have been well worth the wait
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   PopMatters

    Kavinksy has firmly defined himself as a musician capable of forming, and then effectively nailing, an overarching concept of artistic vision

  6. 7.9 |   Beats Per Minute

    A fun retro-pop-dance album for those who like to drive fast through cities at night, perhaps behind a pair of sunglasses

  7. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    The album through line is the well-worn tale of a young man who gets killed in an automobile accident in 1986, only to come back to life as a zombie music producer decades later

  8. 7.0 |   All Music

    Bad dudes, street fighters, and metal gearheads will think of it as their dream soundtrack
    Read Review

  9. 7.0 |   No Ripcord

    Perhaps the most rousingly, entertainingly, ridiculously dumb record that 2013 will have to offer
    Read Review

  10. 6.3 |   Pitchfork

    A lot of the songs come off like synth-emulated rock, but the lack of vocals on any of them aside from First Blood gives them the feel of uncompleted demos by an age-old hair metal band

  11. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    A lot of the magic of Kavinsky was the box freshness of his reimagining of the past, but across these 13 tracks the allure of Beverly’s Hills Cop high-tops and alien blasting game soundtracks begins to sound tired and worn out
