Best Little Secrets Are Kept pays homage to the fairer gender with punchy glam-rock guitars, winking double entendres and Hill's swaggering Rocky Horror Picture Show-style vocals.

All Music Guide

The Best Little Secrets Are Kept is loaded with a raft of inspired songs that burst out of your speakers like they were on fire, mixing the sparkle of the best glam rock, the low-down crunch of the best of classic rock bands like the Stones, and the direct lyrical approach of poets like David Lee Roth or... Bon Scott.

Uncut

A horny fusion of glam-rock boogie, Urge Overkill's egotism and libidinous top-shelf naughtiness, all delivered with the molten fury of The Black Keys. [Nov 2005, p.111]

Trouser Press

The Best Little Secrets Are Kept is a blast, from the past and otherwise.

New Musical Express

The most achingly trendy record you'll hear this year. [1 Oct 2005, p.45]

Rolling Stone

Pairs the thrilling hedonism of early-Seventies T. Rex and David Bowie with cartoonishly sexed-up vocals that make winking fun of glitter rock's excesses.

The Onion (A.V. Club)

It's hard to shake the empty feeling at the end of each these songs; The Best Little Secrets Are Kept has an inescapable, intentional tawdriness.

Splendid

Listening to frontmen Jason Hill and Brian Kareig chop-up every '60s and '70s rock 'n' roll cliché, remorselessly blending Iggy, Mick, Bowie, Marc Bolan and Johnny Rotten into a light, frothy frappé of sex, violence and coked-up come-ons is, at the very least, consistently amusing -- and even better, surprisingly tasty.

Under The Radar

While Louis XIV references the '70s, theirs is no Jet; this band's style is more of piss-take than any cut-and-paste plagiarism. [#9]

Village Voice

Nicely mimics the timbre of Tony Visconti-ville circa '71-'74.

Blender

They exult in a catchy send-up of swaggering retro-rock sleaze. [May 2005, p.121]

Mojo

Alas, when their feisty glam racket starts to repeat itself towards the end, the joke wears a little thin. [Nov 2005, p.112]

Entertainment Weekly

About as sexy as a late-night Nerve.com instant-message session. [22 Apr 2005, p.62]

PopMatters

If anything, we should reward them for reminding us that glam rock is dead, and so be it.

Stylus Magazine

The album’s stagnant celebrity worship stifles their ironic, so-dumb-its-addictive intentions.

Lost At Sea

Some of the tracks may be fun, but The Best Little Secrets Are Kept is little more than mindlessness parading as innovation.

Alternative Press

Pathetic. [Jul 2005, p.182]

cokemachineglow

Tasteless Rolling Stones apers rip off an entire decade of rock music.

Some people just don't get it...

Pitchfork blows these guys to ugly little bits, and they absolutely deserve it. Ripping off good bands doesn't make you a good band. It just makes you a shameless ripoff. Being shamelessly horny all the time doesn't help either. They want your respect so bad, but don't give it to them. They suck and have no idea what good rock music is, only how to copy it.

Mackie M gave it a10:
If I could pick 11 I would. This band is the best thing to happen to music since the sex pistols. And P.S. Jason Hill touched my arm after the concert tonite.

B gave it a9:
Sexy album, sleazy lyrics, catchy hooks. I don't understand how anyone could call this predictable; I've been listening to this album for 2 weeks or so and I'm still somewhat surprised by some of the changes. I can't wait for the new album! If it wasn't for track 9 I would give this a 10.

robby h gave it a9:
This cd is so damn good it's cool to hear something that is not over produced like say my chemical romance

jimmy t gave it a3:
