"Energien er åbenlys på de to åbnere, før Machinery byder på den slags mindeværdig hook, som altid har været bandets kendetegn. Det fortsætter over i den følsomme Free. mens klaverballaden Moondust trækker en rød tråd tilbage til There's A Star fra Free All Angels. Men bare rolig, der er energisk powerpop nok til at hive smilet frem. Det er tydeligt at mærke, at det er erfarne musikere, vi har med at gøre - særlig Wheelers guitararbejde stråler, tjek Evel Knievel - men det er i sidste ende den ungdommelige spilleglæde, der hiver det sidste stik hjem".

"Kablammo! is nicely paced, bursting out of the gates with big hooks and thunder beats, finding space to breathe with an instrumental called "Evel Knievel" (a neo-surf number that keeps the '90s nostalgia humming by seeming tailor-made for the Pulp Fiction soundtrack), then ending with a pair of bittersweet elegies. It's a record that moves briskly and knows how to entertain, testament to the fact that Ash have moved from spunky carriers of the flame to a well-seasoned old guard. What they lack in adolescent kick they more than compensate with savvy, smarts, and muscle, sounding like passionate survivors who are happy to fight for what they love in an era that takes such spirit for granted".
