Just like a big night out, or indeed its afters, the record is dizzying but flies by too fast and leaves you wanting just a tiny bit more to savour.

["Knife In The Heart" is] one of the most entrancing bops she’s made in years. .... Here’s hoping she’s got at least another round left in her.
As the last dance at The Afterparty it’s a pretty effective one. If this is to be Lykke Li’s final album, she’s going out on her own terms – a masterful, if rather short, distillation of late night sadness.
The Afterparty is messy, amusing at times and intentionally touching on uncomfortable moods, that honesty is appreciated, and the songs themselves feel fine, if underwhelming when they’re describing such potentially big emotions.
It’s swift, at just 24 minutes across nine songs, but The Afterparty is Lykke Li at her very, very best, which makes her recent claim at an LA listening party that it could be her last, devastating. It might only be May, but it's already a serious contender for album of the year
Occasionally airless, Lykke Li's sixth album is serviceable listening when it should be so much better than that.
