    Where previous releases used Lekman's idiosyncratic worldview to paint a universal picture of love and loss, here he just seems... cute. [Oct. 2011, p. 111]

    Entertaining castoffs, but not his best work by far.

    As a whole, this EP is not a disaster by any means, and as such it's perhaps an exaggeration to call it a disappointment. But for those familiar with a body of work that's to date shown an impressively high quality control there's cause for concern.

    These are just the outcast songs with edges too elusive to polish. And while you're unlikely to fall completely in love with them, it's comforting to know that Lekman felt similarly.

    As dedicated as he is to forming these characters into life-size beings, it doesn't change the fact that some are less interesting than others due to a lack of personification.

    Sadly, there aren't many moments on An Argument With Myself that register strongly.
