    When they stop arching their eyebrows and put some work into doing time-tested pop stuff, they can be great.
  2. Observer Music Monthly

    It's often quite wonderful, occasionally pretty woeful, but endearingly frantic and chaotic.

    It succeeds in the same subversive manner Peaches did six years ago. [Jul/Aug 2006, p.118]

    Once all is done and danced – in under 35 minutes – there’s no immediate desire to go around again.

    Basically, Cansei De Ser Sexy sounds like a thirty minute dance party full of shouted vocal lines and vapid lyrics.

    Cansei de Ser Sexy is a catchy, brief, and sweaty romp, but nothing that will wow, nothing that’ll smart, nothing that’ll leave a phone number next to the dildo on the bedside table the morning after.

    All the elements for a smart, catchy dance-rock album seem to be in place, but the final product still remains slightly unstructured and rehashed.

    These flat-voiced, fleetingly funky gangsta rips are too detached to be adorable. [Aug 2006, p.76]
