    Through electro beats, samples and soaring choruses, Lynch's voice is consistent, strong and always beautiful.

    It wraps you up like a sunny day in the middle of no where. But Lynch is never far from a party, and every moment of this record is glazed with fun and pop and excitement.

    It isn’t easy to love, that detached remoteness permeates throughout, but it is a well-crafted collection of songs.

    [Johnny Lynch's] third album proper features confident, spangly pop music with beats as sneaky vehicles for stories of murder, primal blood rites and near-death experiences. [Nov 2016, p.113]
