  3. 9.0 |   Exclaim

    Röyksopp and Robyn have not only traversed new territory, they've made it their own

  4. 9.0 |   The Music

    This taster serves as an introduction to a new Röyksopp album tentatively scheduled for release later this year. All it’s done, however, is made us ravenous for a main course of the Royk-Rob variety

  5. 8.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Given their propensity for innovation, there’s a real chance we won’t see more releases like this. However, if this is a hint at what either of their next records sounds like… holy shit

  6. 8.3 |   Consequence Of Sound

    Do It Again feels like an exploration for all involved, and even manages to address gender politics in discreet but intriguing ways

  7. 8.0 |   All Music

    The trio bookends the EP with two of the most introspective tracks to ever grace a Robyn-affiliated project

  8. 8.0 |   The FT

    The EP’s opening track is a stunning slow-burner

  9. 8.0 |   Independent on Sunday

    Not exactly cohesive then, but hey – it’s a trip

  10. 8.0 |   The Observer

    Röyksopp are on top form here, and when Robyn returns to her exuberant self on the title track the effect is electrifying

  11. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    This is one Scandanavian pop hook-up you’ll want to hear from again

  12. 7.7 |   Pitchfork

    It's extravagant and left of center, but it's above all generous.

  13. 7.5 |   Beardfood

    Aims directly at the teenager in you

  14. 7.0 |   NME

    It begins with a stunner – ‘Monument’, a winding and mystical 10-minute epic containing startlingly self-confident lyrics

  15. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    Isn’t as downright amazing as it could have been, but there are far more pros than cons

  16. 7.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Robyn and Röyksopp go from eyeing each other with genuine suspicion to sounding as if they’ve never been apart
    Read Review

  17. 7.0 |   Spin

    Joyously addictive mutual self-destruction is what "Do It Again" is all about
    Read Review

  18. 6.0 |   Under The Radar

    The intention is to go for the cheese on Do It Again, but the impact is so much stronger when restraint is exercised

  19. 6.0 |   Rolling Stone

    This is a worthwhile peek into three great electro-pop minds

  20. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    If Robyn and Röyksopp are interested in doing it once again, let’s hope they’ll be able to tap into something a bit more inspired than what has been presented here

  21. 5.0 |   The 405

    As a collection of songs it's diverse and has lots of pleasing moments, and if we were coming to the artists cold there's a good chance it'd come across differently. But we know what these artists can do separately

  22. 5.0 |   Slant Magazine

    Highly polished but surprisingly tedious, the album plays out like a throwaway diversion from exhausted artists attempting to catch their breath before moving on to their next big projects

  23. 5.0 |   Clash

    There’s nothing inherently bad, but the whole venture feels akin to buying a Lamborghini and then driving it in a way that will maximise fuel efficiency
