Praise for this track:
"HG sprinkle cuteness where it fits into the compositions but leave them alone when it doesn't. The backing vocal "woo-hoo"s from the mod-esque Sharkfins In The Sky aren't irritating and don't feel forced because it's not the fourth or fifth element of adoreable-ness piled onto itself. Instead, they're instantly huggable and raise the stature of the songwriting that extra inch." -- The Line Of Best Fit
"Where The Beatles had Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Howl Griff have Sharkfins In The Sky -- a catchy, psychedelic tune that sounds a bit like Kasabian being born in the '60s. Not bad really: being able to play music that could span five decades and a handful of genres (and to sound good while doing so) is no easy feat to perfect." -- Rock Reviews 24/7
"Slices like silver through the cool sea-breeze. The vocals gently flutter through the mesh to scutter away gently and out-of-sight" -- Raw Ramp Mag
"The Smiths with a hint of U2 may sound like an odd mix but it really works on the catchy Sharkfins In The Sky" -- Lyric Lounge Review
"The bass is raucous and distorted, and the band picks up speed for the chorus." - 7bit Arcade
"a Ffa Coffi Pawb-esque frame for canny fuzz-pop chord changes and some very Gruff Rhys-like whooping" -- Rocksucker
"There's a good drum beat and fuzzy guitar on the intro to Sharkfins In The Sky. Another guitar comes in firing nice riffs and overall the song has a '60s garage feel to it, which as everyone should know means it's pretty good" -- Louder Than War 2
"a clever rinky-tink keyboard motif and a mild level of aggression. Catchy again." -- Vanguard
"has some fine hi-hat action and rumbling guitar alongside its skittish synth hook." -- Whiteboard Project
