  1. 8.0 |   The Irish Times

    The kind of album that will raise the bar even higher for other acts with similar ambitions

  2. 8.0 |   Mojo

    The grown-up Ash remain every bit as irresistible as the pop-punk pups. Print edition only

  3. 8.0 |   State

    By adding elements of the mature lives to the joyous teenage noise that they first created, Ash have found a new way to move forward. It’s good to have them back

  4. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    This album provides ample proof that Ash’s embers still fizzle away and look likely so to do for some time yet

  5. 7.0 |   Uncut

    A short, sharp and generally satisfying voyage into Ash's heady past. Print edition only

  6. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Thankfully more rebirth than retread, it’s an adrenaline assault with an infectious gung-ho spirit that deserves a hearty rock ‘n’ roll salute

  7. 7.0 |   The Music

    Eight years after publicly abandoning the album format, they're refocused and delivering what they always did best

  8. 7.0 |   The Digital Fix

    A likeable, if not entirely essential, addition to an under-valued back catalogue
    Read Review

  9. 6.0 |   Exclaim

    Ash still generate radio-friendly tunes on Kablammo!, but they lack the depth that they demonstrated at their peak

  10. 6.0 |   Gig Soup

    Certainly hold ups with recent releases by bands half their age and indicates that there’s plenty more life in the Irish trio yet

  11. 6.0 |   Q

    The quality dips towards the album's close, but all told, this is a solid return to the fold. Print edition only

  12. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    There’s life here yet

  13. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    It’s a little bit jarring when they produce something which by their own high standards is, dare I say it, a bit underwhelming
