The Word On... Suck it and See, Arctic Monkeys
"An almost seamless step forward, reaffirming the notion that the band's shelf life is probably much longer than initially estimated. More importantly, it proves they still have places to go." onethirtybpm.com
"It's a shame that the group has completely ditched their indulgent psychedelic frills, but it's also wonderful to have Turner immersing himself in beguiling pop songwriting again. It's invariably what he does best, and 'Suck It and See' contains truly superb pop moments in abundance." slantmagazine.com
"By the impeccably high standards they've set so far it ranks as a good rather than great album, and only deepens the mystery as to where the Arctic Monkeys may venture next, both as a group and in their various solo guises." drownedinsound.com
