"On their fourth record, the succinctly titled IV, BADBADNOTGOOD rein in their jam-band impulses, delivering a velvet-crushed portrait of an effervescent lounge act in the 21st century".

"There's a richness to IV which was not present on their last record, and it revolutionises their appeal. This additional layer of production, one that harks to film soundtracks, classic soul and instrumental hip-hop, as well as retaning enough classic jazz for fans who have seen them through from the Bandcamp days, takes Badbadnotgood camp away from being just that trendy jazz act and into the realms of sonic craftsmen".

"On their fourth proper album (not counting Sour Soul, their full-length collaboration with Wu-Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah), Canadian jazz group BadBadNotGood expand their sound, welcoming several guest artists as well as introducing new musical influences and instruments. It's their first release to include saxophonist and longtime associate Leland Whitty as an official member of the band ... The album incorporates more electronics, drum machines, and production tricks into the group's sound than previous efforts, echoing various shades of library music and Krautrock ... Of the songs that feature guests, "Time Moves Slow" with Future Islands crooner Samuel T. Herring is the clear standout ... It's easy to see why BBNG are the type of jazz group that appeals to people who normally don't care for jazz. They're music lovers, first and foremost, and they're directly in tune with what's happening in the music world. They blend numerous influences and don't conform to anytraditions.More than anything, their music is exuberant and immensely enjoyable".
