Entertainment WeeklyGorgeous, grotto-fabulous chamber pop. [14 May 2004, p.71]
-
It ranks high among his finest albums.
-
MojoHis songwriting has rarely sounded so acute. [Apr 2004, p.109]
-
It's quite something - all the more given that he's now a one-man operation - and merits attention as much for its ludicrousness as anything.
-
Q MagazineAnother beautifully scored Divine Comedy album that sounds a bit like Scott Walker and a lot like the last one. [May 2004, p.102]
-
BlenderHis wisest and warmest record yet. [#27, p.136]
-
Patchy at best.
