"Toro Y Moi's Chaz Bear sounds increasingly comfortable as a lead vocalist and personality on his most personal album to date, as a still-funky but more ambient side of his writing emerges".

"When it works, it's easy to imagine Drake borrowing some of these muffled rhythms and muted pianos for his latest mixtape. Unfortunately, Bear can't rely on the strength of Drizzy's personality to lift the weaker songs and when he reaches for the Auto-Tune, it becomes difficult to engage with his distant vocals. It's Bear's most consistent work to date, though, and the best songs have a haunted wistfulness that is impossible to forget".

"Chaz Bundick er manden bag aliaset Toro y Moi, som laver solbeskinnet og eksperimenterende soulpop, der desværre led under en hel del prætentiøse genrebetegnelser i starten af 10'erne [fx "chillwave"] ... "Boo Boo" er fyldt med fængende melodier og byder på synthpop, der sætter sig fast i fødderne. Det fine ved Toro y Mois nye album er, at det fint balancerer imellem retro og nye opfindsomme greb, især på sangen "Girl Like You", som jeg kunne høre forfra og forfra igen".
