MUSICOMH

It's an album that does many things well but nothing to perfection.

DROWNED IN SOUND

It’s an enjoyable record, but one that’s more likely to point you in the direction of their original influences than achieve notability in its own right.

66
PITCHFORK

So much of the album is straining to be more than just an homage to the club sounds of the late 80s that it ends up being a bit less.

60
PASTE

Blue Songs tends to lean hard on the spiritless side of music-making, more concerned with organization rather than the intangible warmth of the songs.

50
CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND

Even a few shiny remixes can’t save a floundering sophomore album like this one.
