    As catchy as The Leisure Society's songs may be, there is no doubt that this record isn't where you should start exploring them. No song is as radio material as Fight For Everyone, but they do make a stand after a few listens. A clean and efficient production makes the difference when you know what you're aiming for. Good effort.

    As they navigate these darker emotional waters, it's hard not to wonder what Hemming and his crew would sound like if they loosened their collars just a bit.

    Hallelujah, melodies and lyrics are not just sensitive but sharp and witty, glittering with a dazzle reminiscent of Britpop at its deftest. [May 2015, p.96]

    Hemming's voice has an authentic catch, but for all the lyrical loneliness, his lavish arrangements are packed with ideas. [May 2015, p.107]
