One Lovely Day was met with generally favourable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 63, based on four reviews. [1]

AllMusic's Gregory Heaney wrote: "it's this kind of mellow eclecticism that has helped Greenwood to develop such a devoted following, and it's his music's sticky, molasses-like sweetness that keeps those fans coming back for more and more". [2] Dan Mistich of PopMatters stated: "as one might expect, the vast majority of One Lovely Day is familiar territory, confirming that Cope's artistry is found not so much in inventing something radically new, but in refining and arranging various genres". [4] Derek Staples of Consequence of Sound found the album "listens like an attempt to meet expectations, never attempting to push his abilities or the prevailing tastes of an already devoted fan base".

Audio, Video, Disco is the second studio album by the French electronic music duo Justice, released on 24 October 2011 by Ed Banger Records, Because Music and Elektra Records. Justice member Xavier de Rosnay has said of Audio, Video, Disco's musical style: "We wanted to create something very laid back and a bit countryside-ish. You know, daytime music. [...] What we wanted to do was keep the beats, but make it more soft. One of the challenges of this record was to make it feel emotionally heavy without being aggressive. Like being soft and violent at the same time. The texture of the new record is really soft." The album also features more collaborations than on the band's debut album †.
