"...After all, this album reveals a band finding their feet, finding their sound, moving on – a process that intimately involves the listener. The group do this naively, awkwardly, playfully – qualities that lie at the heart of this album's charm. Age of Consent opens with one of Hook's most joyful basslines, and Sumner asking someone or something to "please let me go"; it's hard not to think of the past when you notice this. The Village is similarly, blissfully innocent, introducing a moment when a "new life turns towards you", before bubbling over with simple, major chords. Also, there are few lyrics as genuinely lovely as: "Our love is like the flowers/ The rain, the sea and the hours."      - Jude Rogers, The Guardian
