  1. 8.0 |   The Guardian

    It’s well-executed mainstream pop with enough variety to prick the ears
    Read Review

  2. 8.0 |   DIY

    Packed full of bangers, ‘I Remember’ is a bold next step in AlunaGeorge’s evolution
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   The Observer

    It occasionally loses focus, but overall the decision to open up has worked wonders
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   musicOMH

    In lesser hands, the sheer number of collaborations on I Remember could have spelled trouble, but AlunaGeorge are no ordinary band. They are so much better than that
    Read Review

  5. 8.0 |   Clash

    It's pleasing to discover a couple of years of cementing their place in the industry has given AlunaGeorge more focus
    Read Review

  6. 8.0 |   Mixmag

    AlunaGeorge’s second album offers a distinctly 2016 soundtrack to the summer. Bolder and with increased confidence
    Read Review

  7. 7.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Their second LP sidesteps the sophomore slump by throwing in elements of more radio ready electronic music
    Read Review

  8. 7.5 |   Pretty Much Amazing

    The duo’s most beguiling instrument remains Francis herself, whose wispy, English-tinted voice shifts from beguiling to bellicose with each verse
    Read Review

  9. 7.0 |   Beardfood

    It’s still very much a throwback to both the 90s and 2012, yet with enough tweaks to stay enjoyable and relevant
    Read Review

  10. 7.0 |   No Ripcord

    AlunaGeorge have offered us plenty of examples of what they do best in I Remember and, perhaps most importantly, left us wanting even more
    Read Review

  11. 6.8 |   Gig Soup

    There’s certainly enough material on this album to appeal not only to diehard fans but also a more critical mass
    Read Review

  12. 6.6 |   Pitchfork

    Bass and sass-heavy dance tunes that occasionally stall out at their peaks
    Read Review

  13. 6.5 |   Spectrum Culture

    The approach is one of unabashed honesty, femininity and selfhood
    Read Review

  14. 6.4 |   Earbuddy

    An album that’s never awful but never inspired, the sort of thing that demands to be heard while you’re doing other things
    Read Review

  15. 6.0 |   State

    Perfectly serviceable, sure, but there’s no room for that in modern pop music
    Read Review

  16. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Allowing themselves the creative freedom to explore a wider variety of sonic textures and moods will give AlunaGeorge the outlet that their ambition deserves, but such self-actualization cannot be found here
    Read Review

  17. 6.0 |   The Irish Times

    The biggest problem is that I Remember just doesn’t deliver the wow factor its predecessor hinted at
    Read Review

  18. 6.0 |   The FT

    The latter half of I Remember falls prey to the doubts that can afflict second albums
    Read Review

  19. 6.0 |   Evening Standard

    The whole is a mixed bag that suggests a duo who are unsure where their strengths really lie
    Read Review

  20. 6.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    As an album, that inconsistency is frustrating. As a teaser for album three? Intriguing
    Read Review

  21. 5.9 |   Paste Magazine

    They’ve committed to neither their roots nor their ambitions, landing them squarely in that dull purgatory between triumph and tragedy: a cycling playlist
