"The Swedish electro-pop group's first album for Ninja Tune is a welcome departure, finally infusing their own studio work with the creative energy of their collaborative sessions".

"Little Dragon seemed to fall into a rut with the rigid and unaffecting Season High, and started to pull out of it with Lover Chanting EP, a livelier set with post-disco R&B and pacific dub-pop leanings. They brush the remaining dirt off their shoulders with New Me, Same Us, their first album for Ninja Tune and sixth overall. The preceding release proved to be no mere digression. This is permeated with smart applications of soul, funk, and a little boogie, and as a consequence features some of Little Dragon's most inviting and stirring material".

"Little Dragon har siden sin etablering i 1996 leveret eksperimenterende elektropop ... Gruppen fra Göteborg har altid været gode til at tænke uden for boksen - rytmefigurerne er varierede, og de legende samples giver sammen med Yukumi Naganos unikke vokal lyden lidt mere dybde, end hvad man ellers kan forvente fra genren ... Little Dragon har tænkt hver en detalje igennem og holder sig inden for linjerne. De har vist os, at de stadig kan deres kram, men så heller ikke så meget mere. Intet er nyt, og alt er det samme, og det er lidt ærgerligt".
Vurdering 3/6.

"New Me, Same Us is more stripped-back than their most recent efforts, the sonic space affording them a clarity that allows [singer Yukimi] Nagano to showcase her full emotional range ... Six albums in, now, as ever, Little Dragon deserve far more attention".
