Reception

Critical reception

Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the album a positive review stating: "Not that you'd be any the wiser when listening to their debut album Settle, which forgoes the current trend for speaker-splitting identikit EDM in favour of the kind of smooth grooves and spacious beats you'd expect to find on a club classics compilation. But much like their megahit 'White Noise' with trendy duo AlunaGeorge, it's also packed with modern pop sensibilities. Despite the list of vocalists reading like a who's who on the Hype Machine chart, Guy and Howard's presence is felt strongly throughout, although the featureless tracks 'Second Chance' and 'Grab Her' are the weaker on the collection. Regardless, much like Daft Punk's latest effort, Settle is an album that brings some sorely needed intelligence back to joyous dance-pop." ^[1] Eve Barlow of NME gave the album a positive review stating: "Disclosure’s straight-up ’90s house choon-ageddon begins with ‘When A Fire Starts To Burn’, the confident basslines on which feel like a celebration of modern British electronica. Before long you’ll be hoovering the dancefloor to ‘Latch’ – a single so huge it seems unbeatable. Until, of course, ‘White Noise’ renders superlatives redundant. Featuring Aluna Francis of AlunaGeorge, it’s an immaculately constructed pop monument. As for potential forthcoming singles, take your pick from ‘Defeated No More’ (featuring ‘Dancing’ Ed Macfarlane from Friendly Fires), ‘Voices’ (like a metallic Slinky springing into a basement), and ‘Confess To Me’ (hi, Jessie Ware). Even more watertight than the songcraft is this hour-long bender’s structure. Just as the ante wanes on ‘Second Chance’, ‘Grab Her!’ is a zingy top-up before single ‘You & Me’ has you properly sorting out the sock drawer (official rave terminology). Featuring Eliza Doolittle, it’s testament to how Disclosure get the best out of never-weres (see also: Jamie Woon on ‘January’). Throughout, ‘Settle’ will blind you with so much sheen you’ll want to tile your bathroom in it. Sadly, the London Grammar-featuring ‘Help Me Lose My Mind’ is a bit of an unnecessary cool-down. Not to worry, Disclosuremania is clearly about to sweep the nation."^[2]
