CRITIC REVIEWS

80
AllMusic

Miles Kane's second album is a giddy collection of retro-pop that doesn't feel stuck in the past.

80
NME

The energy is outrageous. The lyrics are forthright. And, most importantly, the majority of the ideas are Kane’s.

80
The Independent
Kane wields an urgent, assertive grasp on tomorrow, via the sounds of yesterday.
80
Evening Standard
There are, it must be admitted, weak moments: You’re Gonna Get It ( a collaboration with Paul Weller) is humdrum, and the chorus of Darkness in Our Hearts is pukey. Otherwise, this is great stuff.

At times, he runs out of ideas, but that shouldn’t detract from the fact that he is clearly going somewhere – even if that might be more often than not the past.

Drowned in Sound

This album only serves to make him more indistinguishable from the pack; another Kasabian, another Beady Eye, another high street, another pair of trousers.

40
The Fly

In short, ‘Don’t Forget…’ is just possible to enjoy. But only in mod-eration, of course.

I hate this album, it's genuinely of the most boring albums I've heard in my life, with stupid lyrics, dumb songs, and an extremely average vocal performance, there's nothing great on this album, it's boring, uninteresting, apart from the opener there's nothing worth checking out on this album.

I swear, if I was Fantano I would give this album a not good.
