"Having so many guests with so many different backgrounds could have resulted in a scattered mess, or pushed Kimbra out of the spotlight, but her sense of adventure puts her signature on even the most kaleidoscopic moments ... An album that just becomes more engaging with time, The Golden Echo lives up to its name: it refashions the best of what came before it into something alluringly modern and a lot of fun".

"Vurdering: B-" - "For most of its length, The Golden Echo is so jam-packed that the songs where Kimbra tones down the decor and lets her lyrics ring become some of the most interesting. "I want to feel something sacred away from your flashing lights," she sings on "As You Are", as if the vacancy is a relief even to her. Seven-minute closer "Waltz Me to the Grave" plays out like a Vows track with an itchy, morbid twist. It can't settle on a beat or a palette, it seems; Kimbra's fractured voice just barely webs the whole thing together. But it moves through anyway with its zombie mob of mismatched instruments, its melodic gymnastics, and its wry bite. It moves into a vision of death only Kimbra could conjure".
