Feb 7, 2025Sensitively produced by Marta Salogni, the result is both seductive and hypnotic. .... I may already have found my album of the year.

Feb 28, 2025All of the tracks are enjoyable and illuminating, making Sharon Van Etten & the Attachment Theory a triumph.

UncutJan 30, 2025Pursues the vibe [heard on 2022's We've Been Going About This All Wrong] further, enjoying a kind of midlife techno-goth glow-up, on tracks "Idiot Box" and the incendiary "Indio" coming on like a female-fronted Future Islands or Pet Benatar joining Curve. [Feb 2025, p.43]

Feb 3, 2025The Attachment Theory highlight fascinating new aspects to Van Etten's craft, like the reflective prisms of precious stone. What is lost in cohesion is made up for by an exploratory freedom that the band revel in, hopping from wistful to explosive to triumphant.
-
Feb 12, 2025A more fluid dynamic exists with the full band, and although nods to certain 1980s styles emerge, Van Etten maintains those aspects of her songcraft that make her a celebrated artist. Thus, in Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory, listeners may feel transported to the depths of a gothic cabaret, but they will eventually emerge to the familiar light of day.

Feb 7, 2025Even with this shared billing, Van Etten remains the album’s undeniable highlight, though she explores a range of vocal approaches outside her trademark wail.
