Broadly speaking, Love 2 ditches the insular ambience of 2007's disappointing Pocket Symphony for a return to the proggy soundscapes of their marvellous, mesmeric Virgin Suicides soundtrack

Always the masters of engaging, laidback music (not the oxymoron it first appears to be), Air seem to effortlessly release classic after classic.

Any listener who has drifted away from the duo since Moon Safari won't be disappointed if they choose this moment to dip back into Air's hermetic universe

If soft and lovely is what you’re looking for, then Air continue to provide it, but there’s no denying that the sheer joy of their early work has now disappeared

...in part, a welcome return to the lighter touch of Moon Safari, with the hushed voice, soaring synth and simple but effective key-change of ""Heaven's Light"", in particular, reprising the winning alliance of amour and astronomy in their breakthrough hit ""Sexy Boy""

PopMatters
Godin’s vocals, so prominent on the last album, are pushed into the backdrop for Love 2. In addition to four instrumentals on this twelve track album, lyrics are essentially irrelevant or ornamental

Thing is, it still sounds entirely like an Air album - just a remarkably bland one.
