"While the album's huge sound sometimes threatens to overpower its actual songs, it's clear that Follin and Oblivion had a breakthrough while making it. Musically dense and emotionally candid, the risks Cults take on Host make it a grower that embellishes on their strengths with flair".

"Ten years after "Go Outside," the New York duo find solipsistic charm in revisiting their past, bolstering their classic sound with the tactile verve of live instruments".

"Recorded largely on live instruments - a first for the band - the album sees Cults swear allegiance to contemporary underground music's core ethos: corrode the classic. So, from the off, the dusky '60s strings of 'Trials' mesh with laptop modernism and neo-soul to make Follin sound like a SpaceX Nina Simone".
