3.5 great | Erwann S. STAFF | April 8th 24 | Dostrotime is further proof that Squarepusher's zaniness never falters, with his typical blend of explosive drill'n'bass and breakcore sitting next to calm guitar interludes that nicely pace the record. A weaker last third does negatively impact the overall listen, but it's nevertheless his strongest in idk how fucking long.

4.0 excellent | ajcollins15 | March 20th 24 | Despite my broad appreciation for drum and bass and breakcore, I've never found much intrigue in the works of the electronic producer Squarepusher. His distinctive fusion of nu jazz, acid jazz, and the intense rhythms of drill and bass has failed to captivate me. However, there's something undeniably compelling about his latest album, "Dostrotime." From the outset, the album envelops listeners in hypnotic and evolving drill and bass compositions, enriched by expansive jazz instrumentals. It evokes a sense of listening to a timeless Amon Tobin record, with its seamless fusion of elements. What's particularly striking is the album's avoidance of darkness; instead, it embraces bright and dynamic textures. While the album's length and occasional interludes may be off-putting, "Dostrotime" remains an exhilarating offering from Squarepusher.
