A.V. CLUB
The War On Drugs goes big on Slave Ambient, strumming and swelling all the way back to the cheap seats.

MUSICOMH
Slave Ambient is an amazing record, but it is far from immediate as these songs take time to develop into something tangible.
83
PITCHFORK
The really amazing thing about the album is how anthemic and affirming it feels despite the near total absence of proper sing-along choruses.
80
NO RIPCORD
Vile may get all the end-of-year glory, but his comrade’s first full-length effort is just as laudable and commendable.
80
POPMATTERS
Slave Ambient is a well-crafted and euphoric album, but somehow it doesn’t have much that sticks out.
70
DROWNED IN SOUND
Given time and attention, the detail behind that wave of fuzz soaks through and seduces.
