    Uniformly excellent.... Few, if any, British bands are making music quite like this right now.
  2. Playlouder
    80
    Tender melodies, modern scrapes and traditional beauty merge into a gently unfolded whole that touches the soul with its silky aesthetics.
  3. Almost Cool
    80
    It's definitely a great step for the group.
  4. Stylus Magazine
    80
    This is, quite possibly, one of the finest releases of last year, and certainly one of the most overlooked.

    Indeed a modern pastoral masterpiece a la Talk Talk's Laughing Stock and PJ's Is This Desire?
