Ed Potton of " The Times " found " Super Critical " to be " breezier and more coherent [ than " Sounds from Nowheresville " ], sticking mainly to the kind of insouciant disco-funk-pop that [ The Ting Tings ] do so well .

" Virgin Media's Matthew Horton felt that " what " Super Critical " misses is one really great tune.
