  1. 8.8 |   Paste Magazine

    This project shows off a new side to both of these songwriters by adding a more adult-indie edge to their music

  2. 8.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    An intelligent, authentic alternative rock album that sounds as enjoyable to live in as it probably was to make

  3. 8.0 |   All Music

    Hopefully this isn't a one-off, since Get There is as pleasurable as anything Hatfield or Nada Surf have offered listeners in recent years

  4. 8.0 |   The Independent

    An alliance so congruent that Get There is surely the best work of their careers

  5. 8.0 |   The Digital Fix

    Minor Alps may be unassuming, their debut a modest and often hushed affair, but this is an album big of heart and hungry for a chunk of yours. These songs can move mountains

  6. 7.0 |   Uncut

    A stream of adorable alt.pop melodies. Print edition only

  7. 7.0 |   NME

  8. 6.0 |   Mojo

  11. 4.9 |   Pitchfork

    Some formulas work just fine. This one works well enough to be genial background music, but not enough to keep your ears cocked for 11 songs

  12. 4.0 |   The 405

    For the most part it wants to be a charming collection of indie-pop songs that are easy to relate to, but still yearns to occasionally break out and start making noise
