  1. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    Let’s Wrestle seem to have avoided sacrificing the quirks of seemingly eternal adolescence in favour of string arrangements and more sophisticated songwriting

  2. 8.0 |   Q

    Bristling with ideas, it's an album worth getting to grips with. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   NME

    Their finest collection yet
    Read Review

  4. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Let’s Wrestle are still the band they’ve always been: self-deprecating, scruffy and charming. They can’t be anything else, and thank God for that

  5. 7.0 |   Uncut

    It all often sounds like Metronomy's secret Hackney-themed indie project. Print edition only

  6. 6.0 |   Mojo

    A bold, if not entirely original, creative leap. Print edition only

  7. 6.0 |   The Digital Fix

    Lets Wrestle never quite achieves its own sense of identity

  8. 6.0 |   DIY

    It's a rare trick for a band to introduce such a shift in styles without compromising their identity, or what it was that drew people to them in the first place, Let’s Wrestle have managed to pull it off

  9. 6.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    Gonzalez is clearly more McCartney than he is Lennon, pricing melody above anything else, which unfortunately includes simple excitement for the greater good of a song ‘working’

  10. 6.0 |   The 405

    If you've ever liked a previous record by the band you'll like this more, yet anyone who's never heard of them probably never will

  11. 5.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    There’s little to get excited about here – there’s no wheel reinventing, no formula shake-up, no scrawling outside any boxes… it’s just pleasant, familiar indie-rock that verges on wishy-washy

  12. 4.0 |   The Skinny

    Feels as if too many of the band’s youthful assets have ended up jettisoned or muted in the name of maturation
