"Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe are skilled harmonists and sought-after collaborators. Their latest album searches for its own identity in the neon haze of the dancefloor ... Laessig and Wolfe have mastered harmony. They can make themselves at home in any era, at any tempo, and sound utterly authentic. They're still searching for an identity as solo artists, though. They cast about on this record, veering from the Bee Gees to Bruce. It's in that heartland pop space where they carve their mark deepest. Leave the glitter and the vodka sodas to somebody else, maybe; embrace Jack Daniels and dust".

"It was during lockdown together in Los Angeles that Wolfe and Laessig conceived the songs for Second Nature, a mix of '80s-infused disco-pop and power ballads showcasing the singers' in-demand blended, emotive vocals. What takes the album to the next level, though, are songs that seek out composure following heartbreak ... While previous albums saw Lucius shift from a mix of melodic indie pop and folk to a sassy alt-pop, Second Nature steps firmly into a more mature adult alternative realm befitting the subject matter, without abandoning playfulness or high-contrast dynamics (or bandmates Dan Molad and Peter Lalish, who appear here) in the process".

"Lucius bring contagious electro-pop & valiant harmonies together on 'Second Nature' ... They prove once again that they can filter in new sounds and stylistic ideas in a way that never feels inorganic, letting their songs and gift for memorable melodies shine through whatever outfit they've dressed them in".

"LA-based duo emerge from dark days with their shiniest album: Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig apply a dance-pop shine to the 10 songs here, an approach that lightens the load of heavy-hearted lyrics rooted in changes and challenges like Wolfe's recent divorce. Putting a brighter spin on heavy times, the duo achieve a Robyn-like mix of dancefloor euphoria and winsome melancholy on "Dance Around It", a standout given a further boost by Carlisle and Sheryl Crow's guest vocals".
