Spin

Varied and vulnerable. [Jun 2003, p.109]

Junkmedia

This is the kind of album that grabs you on the first listen and doesn´t let go until you drive yourself crazy from playing it over and over again.

All Music Guide

Even when their brazen demeanor shifts tempo for the stainless melodies of "That's What They Do" and "Wake Up," Sahara Hotnights offers a musically cultivated sophistication that's missing in bands like the Donnas and the Vines.

PopMatters

As good as C'mon Let's Pretend is as a debut album, (or follow up for that matter), Sahara Hotnights is not yet up to the lofty descriptors peppering their record company press release.

Pitchfork

It's the sound of innocence, like night-long basement parties spent listening to cheesy 80s rock records: derivative in a naïve tributary fashion, while still glimmering with songwriting promise.

Almost Cool

C'Mon Let's Pretend overall is a passable album, but the riffs just aren't nearly as catchy, and the group doesn't quite seem to have a command on their sound yet.

Splendid

People who listened to Sahara Hotnights' albums in their proper sequence will appreciate their improvement, but those who heard Jennie Bomb first may well end up preferring it.

they are always better than the rest

Patricia N gave it a 10:
OK, considering they were all about 19 or so when they did this, it's pretty frickin' awesome. I've recently been re-addicted to this CD, especially "Impressed By Me." I can't help it!
