Pitchfork 7.3/10 The teenaged duo Let's Eat Grandma explore the nightmarish whimsy of nursery rhymes and folktales with a distinctly English flavor on their chilling and impressive debut.
The Line of Best Fit 9/10 The end result is consistently wonderful. Let’s Eat Grandma have made one of the most intoxicating, inventive and original records of the year.
NME 4/5 While their pop sensibilities are clear, the music is surreal and dense, with guitar, synthesiser, saxophone, glockenspiel, recorder and vocals that lurch from sugary to shouty.
DIY 2/5 Let’s Eat Grandma clearly have the potential to merge fantasy and instant fix pop, but this debut is more a showcase of their peculiarities than anything else.
The Independent 4/5 Andy Gill reviews the week's new releases
All Music 3.5/5 At times, Hollingworth and Walton's freewheeling experimentation gets a little too chaotic, but I, Gemini is an adventurous debut filled with moments of surprising beauty and humor.
Under The Radar 6.5/10 Their debut LP may be underpinned by the exuberance of youth, but the U.K. duo's inventive sonic range—including massive gyrating synths, tender glockenspiel chimes, and even a spot of (perhaps ill advised) rhyme spitting—points to unexpectedly ripened ears.
Clash 9/10 That a record so dark and ripe with nuance can also harbour such blatant pop sensibility belies the duo’s young age while serving as a testament to their rampant eccentricities.
Loud and Quiet 8/10 It’s not without the missteps you’d expect from a debut this wild (‘Sleep Song’ is overlong; ‘Chocolate Sludge Cake’ annoying in part) but it seems reductive to denounce ‘I, Gemini’ on account of its lack of focus when we’ve grown so tired of young musicians obsessed with a nostalgia they can’t remember but we can and are sick of.
The Guardian 4/5 At a time when every major album release is a fastidiously managed event designed to be as bleeding-edge as possible, we should be thankful for Let’s Eat Grandma, two multi-instrumentalist 17-year-olds from Norwich who seem to have zero interest in tailoring their outsider pop to current tastes.
