    [An] awesome, never-sappy snapshot of two people who drive each other wild. [No. 121, p.59]

    You're Going to Make It is convincing proof that Mates of State are far from that less-than-thrilling fate [of playing the oldies circuit].

    The slower songs can certainly be felt to add a rounded edge to what would otherwise be an unrelentingly pointy poptastic delivery.

    Mates of State's new EP, You're Going to Make It, is the reassurance that comes just before that final quarter of a race.

    Every tracks leaves you wanting more (and not in a good way), and while Mates of State don't do anything wrong, they don't do much right, either. [6 Jun 2015, p.52]

    You’re Going to Make It makes life sound like one big bouncy castle of fun, and that unquestioned contentment renders Mates of State musically anonymous.
