Spin (p.111) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Borrell and his mates give post-Strokes neo-garage rock a tidy soul makeover, adding a catchy one-handed piano and funky Motown bass lines to the jumpy guitar fuzz the genre demands."

Razorlight: Johnny Borrell (vocals, guitars); Bjorn Agren (guitar); Carl Dalemo (electric bass); Andy Burrows (drums).
Following up on the momentum of its hit U.K. debut, UP ALL NIGHT, Razorlight issued its self-titled sophomore album in 2006, unveiling another strikingly assured set of energetic Britpop. With an upbeat, straightforward approach marked by shimmering, anthemic guitar lines and driving rhythms, Razorlight, led by the gleefully self-absorbed singer Johnny Borrell, reinforced its lauded status with supremely catchy, post-punk-inspired tunes such as the jaunty "In the Morning" and the playfully titled R.E.M. nod "Pop Song 2006."
