## Critical reception

Heather Phares of [AllMusic](/source/AllMusic) said *Iconic* "gives a good idea of where Icona Pop have been and where they're headed".[1] Frank Mojica of *[Consequence](/source/Consequence_(publication))* said, "Icona Pop goes further than capturing the youthful sounds of 2012 on The Iconic; it's the "couldn't care less," "anything goes" spirit that's been documented".[2] Andrew Martin of *[Complex](/source/Complex_Networks)* said, "If you like big synths, heavy beats, and huge vocals, you're going to dig this".[3]

Lindsay Zoladz of *[Pitchfork](/source/Pitchfork_(website))* called it "a more assured collection of songs that sheds some light on what sets Icona Pop apart from their Swede-pop compatriots".[4] Rob Sheffield of *[Rolling Stone](/source/Rolling_Stone)* noted that the duo "sound like the female half of Abba kicking Fernando downstairs in a drunken rage – or maybe Ace of Base if the sign they saw was flashing blue lights".[5]
