CRITIC REVIEWS

100
AllMusic

Ferreira manages to balance her teen pop past with her current interest in indie rock in surprising, creative, and always catchy ways.

83
A.V. Club

Night Time, My Time succeeds in portraying her as a complex person who’s successfully discovered her own voice.

81
Pitchfork

It’s both a relief and a bit of a shock that Night Time, My Time is not only here, but that it’s one of the most pleasing pieces of pop-rock to come along this year.

80
The Guardian
Likening her experience to fighting "the hounds of hell" may seem rich, but on the record, at least, she's arrived.
80
FACT Magazine

With Night Time, My Time, Ferreira shows that when the pressure gets to boiling point, finally letting off steam can feel damn good.

80
NME

More remarkable than ‘Night Time…’’s hard-won release is how brilliantly universal it is without sacrificing any of its weirdness.

80
Evening Standard
If Sky Ferreira’s appeal is down to her capricious personality as much as pure musical talent, that’s a balancing act that often makes for a memorable pop star.
70
The Sydney Morning Herald
The 21-year-old Ferreira makes arresting hybrids, her contrasting stances are rarely just contrary for the sake of it. She turns her back on us with conviction.
70
Drowned in Sound
For the most part, Ferreira's debut keeps things simple, focusing hard on immediate connections.
70
Consequence of Sound

Like her famous former mentor and family friend, Michael Jackson, the only life Sky Ferreira has known has been that of a pop star. Only now, thanks to Night Time, My Time, it appears that her string of shit luck has come to an end.

50
Clash

Like the album’s heinous cover – Ferreira sullen and wide-eyed, showering naked, baring her breasts like a waxwork Helen of Troy – this is cheap theatrics masquerading as inspired art.

50
Rolling Stone
Some of the modern EDM heaviness of Icona Pop and Sleigh Bells kicks in latently, but the 21-year-old's iciness ultimately fails to charm.
40
The Needle Drop
Californian singer and model Sky Ferreira's full-length debut leaves a lot to be desired outside of the album's handful of enjoyable pop songs.
40
Under the Radar

Producer and co-writer Ariel Rechtshaid may have used Bowie’s Low as a reference point but the scatterings of choppy guitar scuzz add little to an already uneven and unimpressive debut.

35
Crack Magazine

As a whole, the album feels shallow. Maybe you'd enjoy it if you're partial to a good old-fashioned Avril Lavigne chord'n'yelp, or you actually enjoyed the music played in H&M.

Recommendation from @Missing_Lyriks (2 of 2)

I forgot about this album for so long, having been aware of the critical appraisal it received upon release, as well as the controversial artwork, which was shot by French filmmaker Gaspar Noe (known for films like Irreversible and Enter the Void).

There's something I admire about Sky's dedication to her musical craft, which is how she blends together so many influences of popular genres of the 80s / 90s, such as art pop, new wave synthpop and ... read more

This album cover… it changed EVERYTHING

‘Night Time, My Time’ is the first and only album by dual professional Model and Musician, Sky Ferreira. It was released on October 29, 2013 following multiple postponements due to its leading singles all failing. Ferreira released NT,MT with Capitol Records (SHE’S FREE!) and produced the record almost wntirely with Ariel Rechtshaid, but Dan Nigro and Justin Raisen also lended hands to the project. This is the album that made Sky ... read more
