"A dazzling follow up to `Apricot Princess', Rex Orange County's third studio album is a total delight. It may be miserable outside, and the world's going to shit, but try listening to `Pony' and not feeling a little bit more optimistic about the future. Go on, we dare you".

"Rex Orange Countys sangskrivning er på 'Pony' ikke nær så engagerende som tidligere, men den gennemførte levering gør, at albummet alligevel kan sprede smil - men så ikke så meget mere end det ... Det hele kan føles som lidt af et cuteness-overload, men det sker nu på både godt og ondt. For det er også et album, der fungerer glimrende til at sprede godt humør. Rex Orange Countys måde at synge på spreder altså smil, og instrumentationen er rig på små, pudsige drejninger, der gør, at musikken føles levende. Indpakningen er som sådan ganske fin - det er mere med albummets substans, den halter".

"... Rex Orange County isn't Frank Ocean; he stacks vast emotional weight on predictable, inoffensive songs until they buckle like wire shelving. Pony is simplistic, clueless, subtlety-free. "Didn't understand until the age of 18/Even then I was blind," he sings on "It Gets Better." Over and over again, Rex sounds like he hasn't begun to realize how much he doesn't know".
