Critic Reviews

• Creating an overnight hit could easily push an emerging act into rushing a debut album, but KOKOROKO were patient, and the results are rewarding.

  Rating: 80/100
  The Skinny

• An approachable, easily enjoyed debut, Could We Be More sets its own question for what Kokoroko may deliver in the future.

  Rating: 80/100
  Gigwise

• As a whole, Could We Be More is an omnivorous, welcoming set whose overarching influences Kokoroko's members grew up with and around.

  Rating: 80/100
  AllMusic

• Mixture of West Africa and Caribbean influences. Oscar Jerome's glowing highlife guitar opens Dide O, a midway tryptic with Soul Searching (Afrobeat) and We Give Thanks. (soul).

  Rating: 60/100
  Mojo

• Little here rewards close listening – even if, for better or worse, Kokoroko are perfectly likeable to hear.

  Rating: 60/100
  Loud and Quiet

• Dreamy brass to the fore, the London jazz octet make borderlessness their business on this thoughtful, elegant record.
