Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "The result is the most enjoyable record Mars has been a part of -- a glorious excuse to turn out the lights, break out the bubbly and let the sublime power of their almost troublingly uncanny retro verisimilitude work its mimetic magic on your soul and mind.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "The record’s nine rich and colourful tracks delight in all-out pop hooks, lush harmonies and conversational verses...", "There are swellings strings and twinkling glockenspiels and Bootsy Collins cameos and swooning falsettos -- this level of hero worship could have been gimmicky in the wrong hands, but they’re so devoted in their quest that every gesture feels reverent.", "Included in Rolling Stone's "The 50 Best Albums of 2021" -- "Mars’ and .Paak’s interests, talents, and comedic sensibilities blend seamlessly...", "On an album dripping with big moments, the plucky bassline that propels 'Fly As Me' stands out, looping in your head long after you hit pause.", "With a swagger that could appeal to multiple generations, Silk Sonic reflect on a golden age of music with all the skill of their predecessors.", "The twin retro fetishists bringing charming skits, heart-shaped glasses, shirts opened from neck to navel and easily the silkiest grooves to hit top 40 radio in years.", "'Leave the Door Open,' 'After Last Night,' and 'Smokin Out the Window' are among the highlights, slathering elevated technique -- all those key changes -- with satisfying molten cheese."
