    All the songs sound cheap and gimmicky; they're almost laughably bad. Though somewhat catchy, the album lacks substance and is at best, mediocre bubbly pop.

    I didn't really think I would like this group, but they are one of the first good new bands I've heard in what seems like years! Fresh, rocking and wild! Can't wait to hear more from them!

    I feel sorry for all of you that are up pitchfork's asses and go along with all their opinions. You're missing one of the most fun and catchy albums ever.

    Not that cool... but not that bad. Geek enough to make you smile as you dance.

    Two good songs, the rest is crap. Lyrics are childish, instruments poorly played, vocal range is inexistent. Shit!

    What LCD Soundsystem did for me last year, CSS does today. I can dance like a fool without sacrificing brain cells.

    There's only 2 or 3 really good songs here, but there's something incredibly charming about their music that makes them interesting. Better than Donkey still

    Lots of handclaps, woo woo backing vocals, and laughs amid funny observations about contemporary urban hipster life reveal an assured and charming debut.

    CSS’s debut is the real deal: eleven cuts of infectiously syncopated, tuneful post-punk that just may be the summer’s perfect soundtrack. [#14]
  3. Billboard
    50
    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.
