"Second album Babes Never Die sees the band refine the distorted fuzz-rock sound of their early DIY years. Nineties alt-rock revivalism is an avenue that's been explored by a weight of bands in recent years ... There's more than enough here to keep them ahead of the pack".

"It's a weightier piece than its predecessor on the musical front, offering a much more convincing line in stormy atmospherics, but the real talking point is the poise with which Honeyblood have carried off a record on which they seem to have so completely trusted their instincts. Accusations of unoriginality might well surface again, but really, it's not often you hear rock records that sound as boldly unburdened by the weight of expectation as this one".

"Simply matching their debut would've been admirable enough, but that fact that Honeyblood have pushed their songwriting further while retaining the ability to weave universally identifiable themes over spiky pop-rock songs is astonishing ... This is an album that is built to last".
