Slant Magazine
Galore makes for one of the most self-assured, strutting debuts in recent memory.

All Music Guide
Galore the band isn't as distinctive as its influences, and many of the album's songs are so polished and streamlined that there's little chance for Dragonette's personality to shine through. However, their more adventurous side surfaces on the album's second half.

Dot Music
For the most part, however, this is an ultra-sugary album which leaves a strangely sour aftertaste - not a flavour the public seems too fond of.

Observer Music Monthly
On their charming debut, the four-piece fulfil their promise of being the edgy, sexually voracious Ace of Bass.

Spin
With Gwen Stefani sidelined by motherhood, Canada's Dragonette fills the No Doubt void by walking a similar line between girly electro pop and boyish new wave.

The Guardian
This sweet-and-sour debut that is more original than your average pop thing.
40
Urb
Galore sounds like the stock "empowering dance pop" library compilations that music publishers bombard film music supervisors with.
