Reception

Mat Snow of NME said, ""Trampoline" is a gas, better even than "World Shut Your Mouth". Bold, action- packed yet bearing the characteristic wistfulness of the unrequited comic romantic hero, this bursts with an opulent conviction that makes you feel two feet taller just to hear it. Already the tub is too small for the both of us. Magnificent."^[2]
