Standards is the fourth studio album by American post-rock band Tortoise.

Club wrote that "the band is poised between capturing a momentary, malleable inspiration and shaping that moment into some timeless anthem, and as always, it chooses to dither and delay, settling for a sometimes pleasant, sometimes maddening, almost always stimulating exploration of atmospherics.

"[14] Entertainment Weekly called the album "mood music for post-post-moderns, both forward- and backward-looking.

"[5] Spin deemed it "a cohesion of styles and impulses so tight we might call it originality.

"[9] The New Zealand Herald called Standards "a neatly intriguing, mish-mash of instrumental rock shot through with lopsided grooves, dreamy drones, not-quite-jazz percussion and vibes, and knob-twiddling electronica rubbing up against a junk-store of old instruments - all of which somehow emerges as an accessible, tuneful, structured affair.
