Sep 16, 2025The one new track is “Devotion,” a showstopping slab of new-wave twinkle. Outside of a killer opening punchline (“I don’t feel emotion/It completely takes over me”), it’s uncomplicated and blissful, a portrait of codependence that begs to be read as a you’re-the-real-stars diva move. It’s a victory lap, and I don’t begrudge it. But Hot Chip are far more compelling when they’re navigating the course.

UncutSep 16, 2025Sensibly sequenced to feature the biggest hits at the top of the order and end with the newest single, "Devotion". The latter matches their standards for sparkling, dancefloor-friendly synth-pop with underlying notes of melancholy and wry humour. [Oct 2025, p.43]

Record CollectorSep 16, 2025Joy In Repetition carries on where last year's augmentation of their debut album, Coming On Strongerer, left off. [Oct 2025, p.122]

Sep 16, 2025While some greatest hits collections can feel like cheap cash grabs, this feels like a reminder of why fans fell in love with Hot Chip in the first place. If you’re looking for an album of synth floor fillers, this will certainly do the job and some.
