    Whereas the finest music of this ilk goes full pelt with either ideas or loins, sometimes concurrently, Business Casual is, as its title suggests, the ultimate middle ground.
  2. AllMusic
    60
    If it didn't capture the fun of '80s pop, it just wouldn't be Chromeo. And for their third album, Pee Thug and Dave One are as campy and faithful to their roots as humanly (and robotically) possible.

    The Canadian synth-pop duo are still partying like it's 1984. [Nov. 2010, p. 106]

  5. New Musical Express (NME)
    60
    Cassius man's production is a deluxe weave of dreamy synths, biting snares, throbbing bass and warbly Vocoders, but it feels as if Chromeo are just doodling knobs over the top.
  6. Drowned In Sound
    60
    Album three in Chromeo's discography, it sees a return to the Eighties electro funk upon which they made their names, albeit stripped down slightly.
  7. NOW Magazine
    40
    Still, while we wait for a pop saviour to take the genre forward, Chromeo provide a nice enough tribute to its past.
  8. Uncut

    Their one great idea grows tiresome over an album's length. [Oct 2010, p.88]
