As their sound comes into focus again, and their inflence is found to be more powerful than we first thought, there are mixed feelings on this latest Stereo MCs offering.

Observer Music Monthly
They're not quite back to those heady 'Connected' days, but the Stereos still have a mesmeric knack of making music bounce like a rubber ball.

Pitchfork
Double Bubble is neither deep or dense enough for electronic connoisseurs, nor is it brash enough to spawn another "Connected" with kids sprung off of Justice or Hot Chip.

The Guardian
Those old enough to remember "Connected" as something more than a Carphone Warehouse jingle might feel a tremor of nostalgic affection, but little else.

Uncut
Occasionally they break from formula, but the tired beats and repetitive rhymes ensure Double Bubble would have even a Full Moon Party shaking their heads. [Sep 2008, p.104]

Luc G. gave it a9:
Stop comparing this last album with Connected! I think the Stereo Mc's did a good job with Double Bubble, all the songs are pretty good.. its better than the ting tings (support by all the press).
