  1. The Boston Phoenix
    88
    Their songs of experience suggest they spent some time exploring that darkness, only to have found the light on the other side.
  2. The A.V. Club
    83
    'Angels On A Passing Train' and the terrific rock-soul ballad 'Blue But Cool' don't have anything particularly interesting to say--the lyrics are all about salvation, redemption, and other big ideas Craig Finn repackages far more ingeniously--but they jump out of the speakers with just the right mix of conviction and craftsmanship.
  3. New Musical Express (NME)
    60
    Tracks like 'Angels On A Passing Train', swoon with religious imagery and elevate in their choruses, nodding unashamedly to Dylan and Springsteen, while 'Jesus In The Temple' is a BRMC mosey into the sunset, delivered with adventurous gusto that's matched by anything found here.
