    There's a fine line between vintage rock revision and progressive insight--Hammond Jr. has mastered the balance. [Aug 2008, p.170]

  2. New Musical Express (NME)
    80
    The only criticism is that the lyrics fail to make the impact implied by titles like ‘Feed Me, Jack; Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love’. That aside, this is an unexpected delight.
  3. Drowned In Sound
    60
    Hammond does successfully replicate the pop-rockin’ sounds of the past and does it with considerable style to spare.... But like many students attempting to impress their teachers, much of ¿Cómo Te Llama? fails to push things past the established curriculum set by the originators.
  4. Under The Radar
    60
    Similar to his solo debut, Hammond’s lead guitar lines often surprisingly take a backseat here--a marked change from their prominence on more recent Strokes albums. In the end it’s by no means a new Strokes record, but it’ll do until the day a new one finally comes along. [Summer 2008]

    Great album, a great follow up to his first album. If I had to pick my favorite song in the album it would have to be "GFC" The only negative is that some of the songs are not as brilliant but still most of it is very listenable.… Expand
