Edward Okulicz: I loved Morningwood, think Claret’s got charisma to burn, and the idea of a punk-in-spirit raised in power-pop and gone Northern Soul-ish stomper is a great idea. The song’s no “Nth Degree” or “Take off Your Clothes,” though, and I feel like I’m being barked at to no end. It grabs the ear, no doubt, but maybe it yanks it a little hard.

Iain Mew: Not sure whether the instruments or Chantal come in with the bigger and more obnoxious bang. From there, there’s no way to escalate and it’s just a matter of being shouted at for a few minutes with little respite. The song’s put-downs need to either be more witty or to be sung in a way which leave space for meaning to actually come through.

Anthony Easton: I like how this moves out of falsetto after a few seconds and then goes onto something more interesting: multi-phasic but not crowded, fast but not chaotic, with some excellent variation and some smart changes in rhythm. Extra point for the word “incorrigible”, another for the snaps.

Alfred Soto: Steeped in retro sass, blessed with a solid bass line, cursed by an air of so-what.
