"Is this Wild Beasts' masterpiece, then, where they finally live up to an over-literal reading of their name? Not quite. Too many songs sound like generic electronic rock. But a masterful mid-album run - the intriguing, three-legged sulk of 2BU into He the Colossus into the pitch-shifted bomp'n'thwack of Ponytail - is as arresting and fresh as they wanted the rest of this album to be".

"Wild Beasts' Boy King replaces the ornate detail of its predecessors with machine-tooled funk and pitch-shifted gasps. It's by no means a disaster, but it is a disappointment".

"Boy King may be some of Wild Beast's most consistent and accessible music, but at a price: It comes dangerously close to predictable, something the band never would have been called before".
