"The sound is precision-tooled - all brittle beats and loping basslines - with Genders's sweet, multi-layered vocals imparting the human touch. Human? If anything, he sounds all too fallible, sketching intimate scenes as if speaking to himself".

"Perhaps with a more expressive vocalist, the likes of the Elbow-esque balladry of "Peninsula," the Space Invaders-inspired synth pop of the title track, and the jangly psychedelics of "Ghost Lit" would have made a more lasting impression, but Genders' matter of fact Jona Lewie-esque vocals are too often guilty of draining all the energy out of a song before it's reached its whimsical chorus, while even the "Disco Bloodbath Remix" of "Night All Night" fails to give the pastoral folk number some much-needed oomph".
