    As with the other great British debut of 2004 so far, by Franz Ferdinand, Up All Night ripples with cocksure sangfroid and a barely contained sexual fever. [Jul 2004, p.111]

    The best British debut since Oasis? Definitely... maybe. But one of the albums of the year? Without doubt.

    For all its flaws, 'Up All Night' bristles with passion, energy and, most importantly, amazing songs. [26 Jun 2004, p.53]

    Up All Night is a brilliant mod explosion of scruffy pub punk.

    The band's addictive hooks and memorable charm are far from dismissive.

    Razorlight's debut has more hooks than a fishing rod factory, and the advantage they have over Oasis (in addition to not sounding anything like them) is that they haven't had their arses kissed enough to disappear completely up them yet.

    Lively and energetic debut album from the London band. At the time Razorlight were a more sturdy and less ramshackle alternative to theLively and energetic debut album from the London band. At the time Razorlight were a more sturdy and less ramshackle alternative to the Libertines. Razorlight took themselves more seriously and were far less fun. On music alone, this is a very strong record, Rip It Up and Stumble and Fall are brilliant tracks along with several other single that came off the album.
