Since there's a dirty reviews topic already, I though I'd make one for posting reviews you've found in the media.

There's a rather positive one on Pitchfork (I see it was also mentioned already in the other reviews-thread but I'll repost it here):
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/21509-barbara-barbara-we-face-a-shining-future/

"On the first proper Underworld record in half a decade, the duo of Karl Hyde and Rick Smith continue to place matters of the heart at the center of their best songs."

Also this review tells us that it's actually both Rick and Karl's daughters singing on the record.

Thanks, hadn't read through that whole thread yet but just spotted it myself. Still I'll keep this open so that we can have a place for posting media reviews seperate from personal reviews.

Here's another positive one:

"Those longing for more chants of “lager, lager, lager” may be disappointed, but for fans who have always treasured the uplifting and beautiful moments, Barbara is a welcome elevation of the form."

Another good and positive review on Spin.com
http://www.spin.com/2016/03/review-underworld-barbara-barbara-we-face-a-shining-future/

"Underworld Don’t Need Your Nostalgia on ‘Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future."
