  1. Stylus Magazine
    91
    A richly executed and textural record-one of the best guitar-based albums of 2007 thus far.
  2. The A.V. Club
    91
    At their best-pretty much all of Black Pompadour qualifies-The Zincs sound like an accomplished friend, sharing skill and knowledge without being pretentious about it.
  3. PopMatters
    60
    There's more under the pleasant surfaces of these songs than first meets the ears, more subtly inventive textures than blatant quirks: evidence that the Zincs are indeed on the move.
