"Gamle White Lies fans vil stadig have svært ved at finde fodfæste omkring Friends, og jeg bebrejder dem ikke. White Lies er ikke længere det samme band, der brød ind i min bevidsthed tilbage i 2009. Men de er stadig derude. Og de har, på trods af nye spilleregler, netop produceret deres bedste album i mange år".

"... Friends is White Lies' least inspiring record both musically and thematically; they appear to be back in identity crisis mode, and it might not be recoverable this time around".

"It seems like they're unwilling to step out of the formula that flung them out of obscurity when they released To Lose My Life back in 2009. The irony in this, is that according to bassist and lyricist Charles Cave, Friends is based upon the changing friendships the band have noticed as they and their peers get older: 'In the past couple of years, we've noticed friends' life situations causing them to make big decisions - marriages, kids, moving out of London'. While their friends may have moved in new directions, the band have largely stayed the same".
