"Definitely fun, though for me the tracks are better individually than they are as a whole album. There's just not enough variation that keeps me engaged throughout the duration despite the strong energy. Regardless, Let's Stay Friends has some fantastic material that is worth checking out."  Reply

"A HAND TO PICK YOU BACK UP AGAIN Shake the dust off of your wings And the tears out of your eyes (TVZ, To Live is To Fly) Go ahead. Read the rest of the lyrics to “To Live Is To Fly.” I can wait.

"Well composed beats with beautiful instrumentation on top. This album is a peaceful listen. It is low-key electronic music, so if that is what you're into, you'll love this album. This album is about the journey more than anything. Don't expect a destination, or highlights in the middle. Just put..."  [+]  Reply

"The sign of things to come - wonderful lengthy tracks such as Song For America and Incomudro matched with mid-length tracks such as Lonely Street. Steve Walsh's voice at his best."  Reply

"Here on tenth album into a stellar career I’m happy to report that Stuart Murdoch STILL gets it with his magic ability to write the perfect three minute pop ditty with perfect hooks and melody. Mr Murdoch you are a genius my friend"  Reply
