Spill Magazine

Musically there is a lot of depth in this, their second album. It is experimental, yet has a real maturity to it that belies the fact that this is still a band largely in their teens.

Northern Transmissions
Starcrawler come a long way to exceeding their live show and presenting a band that although may be young, is confident, muscular and will leave you breathless.

Louder Than War
A confident second album from Starcrawler, one that deserves heavy listener and radio rotation.

DIY

You’d be hard pressed to find a record as fun as Devour You.

The Line of Best Fit
There are enough hits to suggest you could make a grower out of this record if you tried hard enough.

Exclaim!

The most memorable moments of the record ... are those when Starcrawler distinguish their work from the giants before them, sketching out instead their own growing sense of self.

Uncut
Precocious LA upstarts get a little slicker while keeping it wild.

The Young Folks
Starcrawler rocks out with an added layer of polish compared to the raw vigor of their self-titled debut.

Under the Radar
The most enticing characteristic of both band and record is undoubtedly Starcrawler's ability to flirt with then transcend genres with consummate ease.

AllMusic

Starcrawler seem less like they want to lead you astray and more like they're acting out in hopes of getting their parents' attention, which isn't always good for these songs.

With the exception of a couple songs, the melodies here are not strong, nor is the band's sound terribly original.
