"Glam and dangerous and just a bit kinky, it's absolutely not the sort of thing that happens in the Ritzys and gastropubs of Southampton. The fact that Band Of Skulls come from somewhere so mundane makes this low-slung grimy lead single all the more impressive." - NME

"The British trio draws from the same well as The White Stripes, but not so blatantly that things get ugly: Singer-guitarist Russell Marsden echoes White in both his vocal delivery (bluesy, but not blatantly so) and in his guitar-playing (trebly but meaty, and often with an eye aimed at Jimmy Page). Marsden is joined on lead vocals by Emma Richardson, whose smoky, natural voice resembles Alison Mosshart's-she of The Kills as well as Jack White's new band, The Dead Weather." - AV Club

"These cats can rock! It only makes sense that the contributions and talents of all three members meshed together could create something like Baby Darling Doll Face Honey - one of those rare cases of an album exceeding the lofty expectations that preceded with the buzz. The styles of the songs alternate between a cool bluesy vibe to a nostalgic classic British rock to, as mentioned above, a more modern raw wet dream-like White Stripes." - The Rock and Roll Report
