New Musical Express
Is it an improbably good second album? Looks like it.

Drowned In Sound
It’s a pleasant mess, it’s well-meaning, and there’s enough pop here to satisfy the band’s fans.

Q Magazine
The songs sizzle merrily, but the whole is less than the sum of its parts, and the relentlessness becomes wearing. [Oct 2008, p.139]

No Ripcord
The album aims for Grohl-esque rock anthems, but falls short mostly due to a lack of melodic gifts; given that, it needs many more musical ideas than it has to keep anybody interested.

Hot Press
More shouty rock and party anthems from the valleys.

The Guardian
Elsewhere, the Welsh four-piece are merely witless. Utterly awful.
