Cameron Adams from the Herald Sun said "With the electronic dance music scene turning formulaic and predictable, [Rüfüs Du Sol] have gone deeper and darker.
But it's also impressive to hear brilliant local talent producing world-class electronic and dance music that still attracts mainstream attention.
"[9] Alesha Kolbe from Stack Magazine wrote that "Rüfüs Du Sol are keeping it short and sweet with their third studio album with just nine new tracks.
Opener "Treat You Better" will remind you why you fell in love with Rüfüs Du Sol in the first place, with their synthy dance-pop reverberating all around the track's rhythms and welcoming you home with a warm embrace.
"Eyes" leans far more heavily into dance vibes, and title track "Solace" slows things down, reminiscent of classics like "Sundream" and "Like an Animal"."
"[13] Al Newstead from ABC opined that "Solace kicks off a new chapter for the band, representing a bittersweet balance between the inspiration they soaked up from the sun-kissed beaches of Los Angeles and the stark desert landscapes of Joshua Tree National Park.
