  4. 8.0 |   The Independent

    It's quite easy to envisage entire arenas punching the air to songs like these

  5. 8.0 |   The Digital Fix

    While rockier and more aggressive than Colour of the Trap, Don't Forget... is still an accessible and thoroughly enjoyable follow-up that will not leave fans disappointed

  6. 8.0 |   NME

    The most impressive thing about ‘Don’t Forget Who You Are’, though, is that for all the guest spots from Jam members and Lennon, Gallagher and T.Rex nods, it only ever sounds like Miles Kane

  8. 8.0 |   All Music

    Miles Kane achieves his aim: he delivers a lively British album immediate yet rooted in the music he cherishes and, by looking backward, moves forward

  10. 6.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Its chances are boosted by Ian Broudie's bright, bold production, but, apart from one obligatory Beatlesy ballad, it's full of route-one glam-rock stompers

  11. 6.0 |   musicOMH

    At times, he runs out of ideas, but that shouldn’t detract from the fact that he is clearly going somewhere – even if that might be more often than not the past

  12. 5.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    This album only serves to make him more indistinguishable from the pack; another Kasabian, another Beady Eye, another high street, another pair of trousers

  13. 5.0 |   Uncut

    Too retro for his own good. Print edition only

  14. 5.0 |   Clash

    All swagger and little charm

  15. 4.0 |   The Fly

    In short, ‘Don’t Forget…’ is just possible to enjoy. But only in mod-eration, of course

  16. 4.0 |   The Observer

    Too much of the material sounds formulaic, most noticeably a Strokes pastiche, Darkness in Our Hearts, and the Verve-by-numbers Out of Control
