Rolling Stone - "[A] lounge-pop concept record set in a casino piano bar on the moon. Turner romances his Steinway, tapping influences like French crooner Serge Gainsbourg's oily Sixties ballads..." Spin - "The band's sixth album is undoubtedly their strangest, most alluring release to date....Guitars take a backseat to twinkling keyboards and zero-gravity ambience..." Entertainment Weekly - "TRANQUILITY, with its baroque piano pop and arch, Bowie-esque flourishes, somehow manages to blaze whole new avenues without losing the core essence of the U.K. foursome's musical DNA." Entertainment Weekly - Included in Entertainment Weekly's "The 20 Best Albums of 2018" -- "[The album] trades in glittery Bowie-esque glam, Serge Gainsbourg swing, and baroque space-jam psychedelia."

Billboard - "Arctic Monkeys' latest serves as a direct line into Turner's innermost thoughts....A testament to the band's ever-evolving nature, proving that reinvention might be the key to longevity." NME (Magazine) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] fleshed-out, Bowie-esque statement of excess and grandeur. Lavish strings populate `One Point Perspective', and album closer `The Ultracheese' is one of the band's finest collective achievements to date..."

Clash (Magazine) - "Shelving stadium-ready indie rock in favour of a sparkling vintage cosmic voyage, this record marks the Monkeys' first step into a surrealist universe..."
