In a review for Drowned in Sound , critic reviewer John Brainlove wrote: "Konkylie is an impressive, accomplished collection of songs from a band coming into their own. They've succeeded in accomplishing what all so many artists strive for: cleanly synthesising their feelings and thoughts into sound." [3] At MusicOMH , Ben Edgell said: "Konkylie is a vibrant, often intense, mix of house and pop, infused, wonderfully, with both a spiritual glow and a dark clubland soul." [5]
