FilterDespite the '80s tag and influences worn plainly on sleeves, Phoenix always come across strangely earnest and never cheesy. [#11, p.98]
-
Full of heat haze lethargy and sun scorched sing-alongs, its a resolutely romantic vision of the all American singer-songwriter as viewed through unmistakably French eyes.

UncutLike Bread produced by The Neptunes. [Jul 2004, p.110]

BlenderThese songs create a series of vivid but minimal soundscapes. [Sep 2004, p.140]
-
There's something admirable about a record that proves it's possible to remove grit from adult contemporary pop.
-
Phoenix has created an album that is easy to enjoy whilst listening, but desperately hard to love, and impossible to remember.
-
There are some bands who were just meant to be great pop acts -- pop in the George Michael sense, pop in the Fleetwood Mac sense. Phoenix make music that your mom would like, and it's not a bad thing.
