  1. 10.0 |   DIY

    In short, 'Night Time, My Time' is stunning. Night time might be Sky's time, but this record couldn't belong to anyone else

  2. 9.0 |   No Ripcord

    The pop album of the year
    Read Review

  3. 8.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Much like the way Spector made the kind of pop album they wanted to hear as kids, I think Sky has made what she wanted to
    Read Review

  4. 8.3 |   A.V. Club

    The album is neither sonically nor lyrically one-dimensional. Softer textures—yearning vocals, bubbling electronic beats—intertwine with spurts of noise and harsher tones; this results in distorted rock with stinging metallic sheen

  5. 8.1 |   Pitchfork

    One of the most pleasingly conventional and cohesive pieces of pop-rock to come along this year
    Read Review

  6. 8.0 |   The Fly

    Bold, vulnerable and pleasingly disjointed
    Read Review

  7. 8.0 |   Fact

    Effortlessly blends 80s motifs of tenderised vocal hooks, coin-slot video game samples and chiming synth melodies (‘I Blame Myself’, ’24 Hours’ and ‘Love In Stereo’) into hazy renditions of indie rock

  8. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    This is a strident, individual-sounding record that, while it possesses oodles of retro nods, also pushes forward with its brazen alt. pop
    Read Review

  9. 8.0 |   NME

    Spins the residual sweetness of My Bloody Valentine and Suicide's squall into industrial pop songs fit for Cyndi Lauper or The Buggles
    Read Review

  10. 8.0 |   All Music

    Ferreira manages to balance her teen pop past with her current interest in indie rock in surprising, creative, and always catchy ways
    Read Review

  11. 8.0 |   FasterLouder

    Sky Ferreira is aiming for the stars, and stars simply aren’t born in the bottom of a dark, terrifying well
    Read Review

  12. 8.0 |   Q

    Was the most exciting pop album of 2013. It will be hard to beat this year as well. Print edition only

  13. 8.0 |   Mojo

    A hand-wringing collection of quarter-life crisis pop nuggets, Print edition only

  14. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Stunning maturation from Miley's strutting tour pal. Print edition only

  15. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    Likening her experience to fighting "the hounds of hell" may seem rich, but on the record, at least, she's arrived
    Read Review

  16. 8.0 |   Digital Spy

    A soaring musical triumph
    Read Review

  17. 8.0 |   The FT

    Californian pop starlet debuts with a girl-gone-wrong plotline, singing with a dramatic edge
    Read Review

  18. 8.0 |   Evening Standard

    If Sky Ferreira’s appeal is down to her capricious personality as much as pure musical talent, that’s a balancing act that often makes for a memorable pop star.
    Read Review

  19. 8.0 |   The Observer

    Sounds like a reasonably conventional pop record that's been dragged backwards through a forest after nightfall
    Read Review

  20. 8.0 |   The Arts Desk

    An honest, coherent pop album by a loud-mouthed, heart-on-sleeve, imperfect person
    Read Review

  21. 7.0 |   Slant Magazine

    Night Time, My Time might just be the sort of gaunt, darkly painted neurosis needed to combat popular music's deluge of silly and crude self-affirmations
    Read Review

  22. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    At its busy heart, Ferreira's mea culpa pulsates
    Read Review

  23. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Divided between driving, stadium-sized rock and diffuse, murkier tracks, a series of starts and stops, explosions of feeling followed by temporary calm
    Read Review

  24. 7.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Sonically, the album is rarely able to find the middle ground between pristine shine and gloomy dungeons, giving it some continuity issues
    Read Review

  25. 7.0 |   Spin

    The soft blanket of Jesus and Mary Chain-style noise draped throughout implies not suffocation, but comfort. Ferreira is finally fully reveling in the swirling cacophony that is her sound and her life
    Read Review

  26. 6.0 |   The Quietus

    Night Time, My Time is hopefully the sound of Ferreria climbing inside the commercial machine and wryly dismantling it from within
    Read Review

  27. 5.8 |   Pretty Much Amazing

    Ferreira is a big-time pop singer in indie rock’s clothing, and she’s the most entertaining when she stops trying to make that costume convincing. When she finally realizes this, I bet she’ll make one hell of a pop record – I hope it gets released
    Read Review

  28. 5.0 |   Rolling Stone

    Some of the modern EDM heaviness of Icona Pop and Sleigh Bells kicks in latently, but the 21-year-old's iciness ultimately fails to charm
    Read Review

  29. 5.0 |   Clash

    Is it palatable? Yes. But so is cheap, faded, thrift store candy. And that’s what ‘Night Time, My Time’ is – though it’s wrapped up in burnished, shiny packaging
    Read Review

  30. 4.0 |   Under The Radar

    Sadly those hoping for a great leap forward à la last summer's "Everything is Embarrassing"—or even just more of the same—won't find it on Night Time, My Time
