  1. Q Magazine

    A vibe of maverick playfulness married to fabulous tunes. [Apr 2002, p.106]
  2. Mojo
    70
    The seemingly effortless confidence displayed throughout is startling. [Apr 2002, p.108]
  3. Pitchfork

    Every card Gough plays is painfully transparent from the first time you play the disc. It's elementary stuff. It sounds manufactured, refined, cosmetic and sterile; in a word, silicone, like a pair of Badly Sculpted Breast Implants.
