Pitchfork 6.7/10 After a 12-year hiatus, the Norwegian duo returns with an especially airbrushed take on easy-listening pop. At their best, the Kings sound deceptively effortless, but the facade is sometimes too smooth.

Evening Standard 4/5 The Norwegian duo return to prove there’s always been more to them than just soothing harmonies

The Independent 3/5 Kings of Convenience are content to give the people what they want on their first album in 12 years, while singer/rapper BERWYN is aiming high

Slant 3.5/5 Kings of Convenience's ‘Peace or Love’ situates love as a force that works largely to bring trouble and pain.

The Guardian 4/5 For their first album since 2009, the Norwegian duo keep things pared back to explore the complexity of love and desire<br>

Uncut 9/10 Stylish, melancholic moves by the Bergen grandmasters.
