"It's taken Elly Jackson five years to follow up her debut album, and by all accounts it was a pretty torturous process - but the end result is well worth the wait".

"Exotic holidays and discotheques were, of course, favourite tropes of the original 80s set - Club Tropicana, for one - and here, La Roux sets out a humid scene full of "tropical chancers" lurking under "cigarette trees". Paradise Is You - built for slow-dancing - turns its nose up at the palm trees. On this persuasive second outing, the endless beach seems a grey and loveless place without the object of La Roux's desire".

"Titlen fortæller jo, at der kan opstå problemer i paradis. Under alle omstændigheder dyrker La Roux poppens iørefaldende væsen i en skikkelse, der undervejs minder om både Chic, David Bowie, Wham!, Bananarama, Enya og The Beach Boys. Det er svært at sidde stille".

"En ubesværet poppræstation, der nok har lidelse og tvivl i teksterne, men ellers strutter af selvtillid i de syntetisk tropiske popsange. Retroklangen af 1980' erne er stadig markant i de hoppende synthfigurer, men både italo disco-puls og funkguitar løfter de ni bittersøde peppiller af pop op til ni potentielle singler. Hvor tit kan man sige det om et helt popalbum?".
