Critical reception
Upon its release, Enjoy It While It Lasts received mixed reviews. Some, notably NME, praised its harking back to a lost age of "indie disco" akin to the triumvirate of The Killers, The Strokes and Razorlight. Yet from others, there was a sense of disapproval at the seemingly shallow façade of "makeweight chugging alt-rock,". Particular attention has been paid to the lyrics, with the Quietus describing "whip-smart words," while according to the Observer's Hermione Hoby, they create a "unique blend of hubris and humour." Digital Spy also praised the lyrical work of lead singer Fred MacPherson, commenting "there's a self-deprecating wit to his wordplay that makes Spector all the more bewitching."
