    It’s their strongest record in years. ... A group working at the height of their considerable powers.

    Informed by darkness, Everything Was Forever nonetheless strives to find light where it can. The six-piece enters its third decade as a band with a truncated name, but what hasn’t changed, as Sea Power sails into a new chapter, is its indomitable creative spirit.

    An album of soaring pastoral symphonies, grand emotional vistas, knowing nostalgia and surreal wordplay. [Mar 2022, p.35]

    Everything Was Forever not only shows they're still in strong form, it's as bold and inspired as their best work.

    The sextet returning to their complex basics. ... They still struggle for hooks, though. [Mar 2022, p.83]
