Reception

Template:Album ratings The album was generally well received by critics. Gigwise.com gave it 8/10, calling it "a monument to growing up and dealing with the tribulations of life and love".[3] The NME commenting on "positive songwriting which makes life that little more liveable".[4] Stewart Mason of Allmusic called it "ultra-catchy synth pop",[5] while PopMatters' Andrew Martin called it "a damn fine effort worthy of a listen".[6] The Bournemouth EchoTemplate:'s Nick Churchill gave it three stars, calling it "a curious blend of angular indie gritpop and infuriatingly bold beats that suggest emotional forces are at work".[7] Drowned in Sound gave it 6/10.[8] The SkinnyTemplate:'s Tobias Kahn also gave it three stars.[9] Doug Johnstone, reviewing for The List, also gave it three stars, commenting: "Whispery, sensitive vocals, sweeping guitars and minor chord choruses full of obscure wordage abound, and while it’s all nice enough, it seems a little empty at its heart."[10] Maddy Costa, for The Guardian, gave it 3/5.[11]
