CRITIC REVIEWS

90
NME

Not since Damon put Gorillaz on hiatus has a middle-class westerner used so many genres to produce one vision.

The 405

The Child Of Lov is a triumph. It may be disjointed, bizarre and somewhat derivative, but all the components slot together to create a sonic monster that no one else could have created.

The lack of introspective revelation is part of the whole mystique, and this debut album offers a striking first glimpse into The Child Of Lov’s bewitching melting pot of sounds.

70
AllMusic

The songwriter's debut record proved to be more psychedelic than expected, even weirder than one would expect from the backing clientele.

70
DIY

It’s at once timeless, decidedly retro yet oddly futuristic, a true album of contradictions enjoyable on a completely shallow level of catchy songs and memorable riffs but offering depth often lacking in a debut.

61
Pitchfork

After a few listens, the novelty wears off and its charms flush from the system. Williams has figured out his sounds, but he’s still working towards his voice.
