  1. 9.0 |   Clash

    A classic-in-waiting
    Read Review

  2. 8.6 |   Bowlegs

    A well-balanced expression of love with sparse, yet tense minor chords, melodic vocal stylings, and a pleasant aural history of influential rock & roll styles

  3. 8.0 |   Under The Radar

    Without a doubt, this is their strongest and most cohesive collection of tracks to date
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   DIY

    Playful, real, genuine, and just a bit naughty
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   All Music

    Crocodiles have never been content to stick to one sound and ride it into the ground; they always seem to be searching for the perfect way to transmit their brand of noise and pop. They just might have found it here

  6. 8.0 |   The Quietus

    All the songs are so instant that it makes the album something of an onslaught on the senses - multiple listens will be needed for clear favourites to reveal themselves in a slow strip tease

  7. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    A stellar fourth effort and may prove to be the defining record in what surely will be a long career ahead for the Crocodiles
    Read Review

  8. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    Finds Crocodiles in scintillating form and is full of the kind of carefree rock that should make them more popular than they are

  9. 7.0 |   NME

    It's perfect for those 3am mornings when you're full of alcohol and regret
    Read Review

  10. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    The duo is great at appropriating the sounds of bands like the Jesus & Mary Chain and even Christopher Owens’ former band Girls

  11. 7.0 |   Slant Magazine

    While the album is the closest Crocodiles have come to achieving their own unique brand of tuneful clamor, there's still a sense that they can't quite move away from the blueprint of the new-wave artists that inspired them

  12. 7.0 |   No Ripcord

    Despite being nothing original, Crimes of Passion comes off a good rehashing of the genre
    Read Review

  13. 7.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    Crocodiles have got their bite back
    Read Review

  14. 6.9 |   Pitchfork

    At this point in the game, we've grown accustomed to seeing Crocodiles flash their teeth; it's much more interesting to see them shed their skin
    Read Review

  15. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    The album is diverting, pleasant, and completely undemanding; it’s the perfect soundtrack to a sunny afternoon or a road trip down the highway
    Read Review

  16. 6.0 |   The Skinny

    Their most engaging excursion yet
    Read Review

  17. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Never go quite far enough to escape the shadow of their influences. Print edition only

  18. 6.0 |   Time Out

    Crocodiles just about achieve the kind of sleazy, Lou Reed-style glamour that they seem to have been aiming for
